In 1971, "D. B. Cooper" pulled off what some call the crime of the century, skyjacking a Boeing 727 and parachuting into history and legend. Here's a book that offers a gripping account of that still-unsolved case, based on never-before-published interviews, showing how it launched one of the most extraordinary eras in American aviation history. In November 1971, an unidentified man later anointed by the media as "D.B. Cooper" pulled off one of the most audacious crimes in aviation history, hijacking a Northwest Airlines flight over the Pacific Northwest and parachuting from the Boeing 727 with $200,000 in ransom. "D. B. Cooper" was never to be seen again and the FBI, which kept his case open for forty years, finally determined it would never be solved. Unsolved, perhaps, but much admired. Over the next seven months, a number of air pirates imitated Cooper's crime. None were more daring than the hijacker of American Airlines Flight 119. After commandeering the flight from St. Louis with a machine gun and collecting $502,500 in ransom, the Flight 119 hijacker parachuted into the night over Indiana. Unlike Cooper, he was found. These two crimes were part of a wave of hijackings that occurred between 1961 and 1972, "D. B. Cooper" may have been the most famous, but he was far from alone. One hijacker ran across the tarmac in Reno, Nevada with a pillowcase over his head, gun in hand, to seize a United Airlines flight. Another collected a large ransom in Washington, D.C. before jumping over Honduras. Motivations in many cases remain murky, an admixture of politics, greed, derring-do, and boredom. What they had in common was how they transfixed the nation's attention, bringing about a transformation in the ways that commercial airlines were run and how the laws of the skies were enforced. With its focus on the parachute hijackers, beginning with "D. B. Cooper," John Wigger's book gathers together the stories of this period of daring criminality and recounts them in gripping fashion, showing their effect on the public, the media, and law enforcement. Using never-before published interviews and first-hand accounts, he brings one of the most chaotic periods in U.S. commercial aviation to life.

The UNSOLVED HIJACKING OF FLIGHT 305/ How Justice Was Denied is a work of fiction wrapped around an actual event: the hijacking of Flight 305 between Portland, OR, and Sea-Tac Airport near Seattle, WA, November 24, 1971, by a man who came to be known as D. B. Cooper. This is the only unsolved case of air piracy in United States history. This is the story of a love so strong as to cause the compromise of principles and morals and to overcome the fear of death by jumping from an airplane into the freezing darkness. Our character, Dan Wilson, is backed into a corner when he discovers that Melita, the love of his life, will die without a costly liver transplant. He decides the only way to get a large sum of money fast is to hijack an airliner and demand a $200K ransom. After collecting the ransom money and surviving the jump, he struggles through the wilderness to his means of escape and makes it to Mexico only to lose all the money in a fiery crash. Still in a corner, he makes a deal with the devil. Will Melita, the love of Dannys life, be saved? Can Danny find redemption for his deeds? Will the drug lord, Luis Esperanza, be brought to justice? Who was this Dan Cooper? What really caused him to risk his life for $200K? Did he die in the wilderness, as many in the F.B.I. believe? If he did survive, where did he go? What happened to the bulk of the money? Many questions.few answers. If you like a tale of love and adventure, this book is for you. This is a plausible story and I hope for you, an enjoyable read!

In the annals of aviation history, few mysteries loom as large or captivate the public imagination quite like the enigma of D.B. Cooper. On a rainy November night in 1971, a man who would later become known by this alias embarked on a daring and audacious act that would forever etch his name into the annals of criminal folklore. Boarding Northwest Orient Flight 305 in Portland, Oregon, under the guise of a regular passenger, he seemed like any other traveler. Little did the crew and passengers know, they were about to become unwilling participants in one of the most brazen hijackings in history. As the plane ascended into the stormy Pacific Northwest skies, Cooper calmly passed a note to Florence Schaffner, a flight attendant, revealing his true intentions. He had a bomb and demanded $200,000 in cash, along with parachutes, in exchange for the lives of those on board. What followed was a tense negotiation between Cooper and authorities on the ground, as the fate of 36 passengers and crew members hung in the balance. With the ransom secured and parachutes in hand, Cooper instructed the pilot to fly to Mexico City, all while outlining a meticulous plan for his escape. But as the plane soared over the rugged terrain of the Pacific Northwest, Cooper made a decision that would confound investigators for decades to come. With the rear stairway of the Boeing 727 lowered and the wind howling, he vanished into the night, leaping into the abyss with a parachute strapped to his back and the ransom money in hand. What followed was a massive manhunt, spanning multiple states and involving law enforcement agencies at every level. Despite extensive searches, exhaustive investigations, and countless theories, Cooper's fate remains unknown to this day. Did he survive the treacherous jump into the wilderness? Was he able to evade capture and disappear into obscurity, forever leaving behind the alias of D.B. Cooper? Or did he meet a more tragic end, lost to the unforgiving elements of the Pacific Northwest? In this book, we embark on a journey to unravel the mysteries surrounding D.B. Cooper and delve deep into the heart of one of the most captivating unsolved crimes in history. From the details of the hijacking and the daring escape to the challenges of the investigation and the enduring cultural impact, we will explore every facet of the Cooper legend. Along the way, we will encounter suspects and persons of interest, examine the evidence and theories, and attempt to separate fact from fiction in a case that continues to confound and fascinate us more than five decades later.
