Escape at 10,000 Feet: D.B. Cooper and the Missing Money
Tom Sullivan
This nonfiction account reconstructs the 1971 hijacking of Northwest Orient Airlines flight 305, the only airplane hijacking in the United States that remains unsolved. A man bought a ticket in Portland for a flight bound for Seattle, made demands, and later escaped by parachute with ransom money. He was never caught. Told in a minute-by-minute format, the book uses primary-source material to revisit a case that drew national headlines during the 1970s and left the missing money unexplained.
