Tracon

** Winner of the 2001 Ippy Award ** ** Bronze medal for the 2001 Book of the Year Award **

** 2001 Benjamin Franklin Award finalist ** “The air traffic control world is off-limits to most of you and, consequently, often misunderstood. This book accomplishes what many media accounts, newspaper articles, magazine treatments, and movies have tried and failed to do: get into the minds of the men and women who are responsible for more lives in an hour than most surgeons are in a lifetime. 'TRACON' is a fictionalized account so accurate and chilling in its realism that it strikes people in the aviation business as a narrative summary of actual events.” — JOHN S. CARR, PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS ASSOCIATION
