Ghosts of the Air

During his illustrious career, Martin Caidin wrote dozens of successful books, including Marooned, which was adapted to the screen, and his cutting-edge novel Cyborg, which became the basis of The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman. But none of the fiction he conceived is more awe striking and spectacular as the real life stories told in this book. Over several decades as a civilian and military pilot, Caidin heard credible reports of strange things happening in the sky: sightings of UFOs by entire crews; planes guided by dead pilots; Bermuda Triangle disappearances. When he began studying these seemingly inexplicable events, he discovered that many of them could not dismissed as hoaxes or self-delusions. Indeed, the more this natural skeptic delved, the more he became convinced that such paranormal occurrences were real. His research revealed that numerous respected veteran pilots, navigators, and astronauts vouched for the authenticity of these aerial hauntings. Ghosts of the Air is the culmination of a lifetime of personal interviews and independent research. In this unforgettable book, Martin Caidin documents mysterious flights of phantom World War II bombers seen by dozens of eyewitnesses; airfields eerily inhabited by airmen killed in action; voices emanating from dead radios; ghost visitations; a Boeing 727 that for ten minutes slipped through a stitch of time. With story after incredible story, the former FAA examiner evokes unforgettable images of supernatural incidents in the air. Caidin’s subject matter and gripping narrative make this book an ideal choice for late night perusal or high altitude in-flight reading. That is, if you dare...
