Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This book tells how at the height of the American War of Independence the British seized a tiny Caribbean island called St. Eustatius, or properly, Statia. A free port under the Dutch flag, Statia had achieved notoriety and for the British, an intolerable nuisance value for its thriving trade in arms and ammunition for Washington's armies. It was sufficient cause for war with the Dutch and a combined force under Admiral Sir George Brydges Rodney and General Sir John Vaughan proceeded against the Dutch possessions in the Caribbean. None of these islands were defended, but what Rodney called the "glorious capture" of St. Eustatius on 3rd February 1781 became, in fact, his Nemesis. Chronically debt-ridden and harassed by his creditors, Rodney discovered St. Eustatius to be an El Dorado of goods and money valued at three million pounds. He was, of course, tempted: in effect, he had walked into an unattended bank with its safe doors unlocked. Given the demons in his background, there is no surprise in his fall or in his subsequent ruin by the avalanche of lawsuits arising from that adventure. All of which is broadly known: but it is by no means the whole story. The fascination of historians for the towering figure of Rodney has caused them to focus on his career and influence in the theatre of naval operations and the small print of the St. Eustatius affair has so far remained unexplored. Thus, we read in other accounts of Rodney's peremptory deportations of the island's traders but if we want to know who they were or anything of what really took place in Statia after the Admiral and the compliant Vaughan set foot on that soil we must do our own homework. Similarly, we find only scattered references to the role of the army: yet the drama of the occupation, the dark personality of the commanding officer of the garrison, Lieutenant Colonel James Cockburn and the influences which drove him to his own dishonour are equally part of this story. To present it, the author has gathered hitherto unpublished material in which the "glorious capture" is revealed for what it actually was: a naval and military fiasco and the most bizarre thieves' picnic of the century. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover with dust jacket. Zustand: very good condition. Second Edition - - Pilots have always bitterly resented the label which often masks the true cause of an aircraft accident. The first edition of this book therefore posed a challenge to this concept and aimed to bring about a wider recognition of the diverse factors embraced by the term Pilot Error. - The second edition of this book retains very little of the previous material. This study has evolved into a vehicle for those actively engaged in the pursuit of greater aviation safety and, in particular, for those doing so through the Human Factors discipline which is involved at the very centre of the debate. - Amongst the subjects dealt with in the new chapters are the implications of automation on the flight deck, the syndrome of controlled flight into terrain, how cockpit design deficiencies can contribute to visual illusions and how systems deficiencies can bring about air traffic controller error. - All the contributors are acknowledged experts in their respective fields and the ideas which they set forth in these pages warrant serious consideration by all involved with, and concerned for, the safety of aviation. This means not only the professionals but also those members of the public who entrust themselves to the air transport System. - - The Editors: - Ronald Hurst after wartime flying Service with the Royal Air Force entered the British aircraft industry and worked on a number of military and civil aircraft design projects. Since 1975 he has served with the Secretariat of the Commonwealth Air Transport Council where his work is concerned with the development of civil aviation in the member countries. He is also the co-author, of 'Zagreb One Four-Cleared to Co/lide?'. He is an Associate Member of the Royal Aeronautical Society. - Leslie R. Hurst who is Ronald Hurst's son, is an English Solicitor involved in aviation. - - Contents - Foreword - Brian E. Trubshaw - Preface Editors Ronald Hurst and Leslie R.
