Emergency is a collection of true stories about events where disaster seems imminent. Yet each situation is concluded without loss of life thanks to the skill of the pilots and their crews, whose bravery and resourcefulness have earned them well deserved commendations. Written by a British Airways First Officer, Stanley Stewart, who has spoken at first hand with the pilots and crews involved in all the incidents recorded here, the book offers a unique insight into what really happened: not the passengers? eye-view, which in many cases is already documented, but the view from the flight deck of the aircraft itself. AUTHOR: Born and educated in Glasgow, Stanley Stewart learned to fly in the University Air Squadron. After gaining his comemrcial pilot's licence, he joined BOAC as a second officer in 1970. In 1977 he qualified for his UK airline transport pilot's licence. In 1990 he gained his command on the Boeing 747 and has over 15,000 flying hours on heavy jets and more than thirty years' experience flying around the world. He retired from BA in 1999.
