Good Illustrated hard back with dust jacket, slight rubbing to board edges. Gift inscription on title page. Publisher: Collins, 1984

An investigation into the crash of an Air New Zealand DC 10 tourist plane into Mount Erebus in Antarctica, and the official reports that followed.

Photos (portraits, crash site, diagram of flight track, recovered notebooks, aerial views, etc). Map E/P. Just over seven months after New Zealand's worst disaster (on 28 Nov 1979) -- the crash of Air New Zealand's DC10 aircraft on the slopes of Mount Erebus in Antarctica with the loss of 257 lives-- a Royal Commission of Inquiry began its hearings. This book reveals the painstaking study which brought the Commissioner to his conclusions, and it reveals in full detail the extraordinary story of the Erebus inquiry.
