520    "The "D. B. Cooper" case is the only unsolved act of air 
       piracy in US history. 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. This book looks at the case from the perspective of 
       a mathematician and pilot. It uses previously unexamined 
       data and original-source documents, combined with the 
       tools of statistics, aeronautics, and meteorology, to show
       where and how the FBI could resume the search and possibly
       find out at last who "D. B. Cooper" really was." --
