The "D. B. Cooper" case is the only unsolved act of air piracy in
US history. On November 24, 1971, a polite, nondescript, and
dark-complexioned man calling himself "Dan Cooper" hijacked
Northwest Airlines Flight 305, Boeing 727, between Portland,
Oregon, and Seattle, Washington. At Seattle International Airport,
he demanded and received $200,000 and four parachutes, released the
passengers, and ordered the crew to take him to Mexico. Somewhere
along the way, he jumped. He was never found or identified.
Forty-five years later, the FBI gave up the hunt. This book looks
at the case from the perspective of a mathematician and pilot. It
uses previously unexamined data and original-source documents,
combined with the tools of statistics, aeronautics, and
meteorology, to show where and how the FBI could resume the search
and possibly find out at last who "D. B. Cooper" really was.
