Summary:
Chris provided a major piece in the jigsaw of aviation history in Northumberland, recording an important part of Northumberland's local history that might otherwise
have been lost in the mists of time.

Chris has located and visited over 140 crash sites. In this thoroughly researched book he discusses the location, history and stories surrounding 30 of these. From German aircraft that crashed in the Cheviot Hills during the second World War to NATO exercises that went horribly wrong in the 1980's.

A frank insight through Chris' passion for walking and with his faithful plane hunting poodle at his side Chris brings the human tale of pilots who tragical lost their lives to life.

This book is not full of technical data but covers a subject from a new angle. A worthy read for those interested in this side of flying history. A book that tells of the search to find the correct crash sites from eye witness accounts and official documents and the closure for many families of where their loved ones died.
