Flying Blind

Flying Blind by Peter Robison is a detailed and gripping narrative that explores the downfall of Boeing, particularly in the context of the 737 MAX tragedies.

The book delves into the corporate culture of Boeing, highlighting how the pursuit of profit and competition with Airbus led to systemic failures, including skimping on testing, outsourcing critical software work, and convincing regulators to certify the aircraft without proper simulator training for pilots.

Robison's account is based on exclusive interviews with current and former Boeing and FAA employees, industry executives, and family members of the victims, providing a comprehensive look at the catastrophic events and their broader implications for corporate ethics and aviation safety.
