D. B. Cooper and Flight 305

D. B. Cooper and Flight 305

The only unsolved act of air piracy in US history from the perspective of a mathematician and pilot.Ā 

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. To show where and how the FBO could resume the search and possibly find out at last who ā€œD. B. Cooperā€ really was, this book utilizes:

  • Previously unexamined data and original-source documents
  • Using statistics, aeronautics, and meteorology

Author Bob Edwards is an economist and a contractor in economic, demographic, and market research. He holds a private pilot's license and has experience in parachuting, giving him a unique perspective in the possibilities of the D. B. Cooper case.
