Concorde

De: Mike Bannister

Narrado por: Mike Bannister

Brought to you by Penguin.

The definitive account of the rise and fall of the world's fastest plane from British Airways' former Chief Concorde Pilot.

October 24th, 2023 will mark 20 years since Concorde disappeared from our skies. Yet still Mike Bannister, the last Concorde Chief Pilot, faces the same questions:

• Why is she no longer flying?
• Where is her replacement?
• And what really happened on that tragic afternoon in July 2000, when the crash of Flight 4590 grounded the Concorde forever?

Concorde is an enthralling personal account of what it takes to fly planes faster than the speed of sound, and of the events that lay behind 114 needless deaths—the 113 victims of the crash and, ultimately, Concorde herself.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Absolutely loved it

This book made me hope for a new supersonic passenger plane soon!

Wonderful story and great structure.
I will be revisiting it in the future.

Very well done Capt. Bannister!

I love the fact that the author reads his own book! A true feel good story. You become part of his story as he reads.

Finally understand the Concorde story

I always wondered what happened to the Concorde and this story provides the details. Well done.

Phenomenal Story about the Concorde

Great story, great author, a must read for any aviation fan. Mr. Bannister does not disappoint.

Tense; Taut; Tears

The story was engrossing throughout the whole book. Indeed, to keep readers captivated about an accident that they all know is coming can’t be easy. Yet, Captain Bannister succeeds marvelously.

And that voice! My goodness. I have heard of nominative determinism. Perhaps it exists for pilots and their speech. It also makes for an ideal narrator.

I adored “Concorde”.
