Summary

DB Cooper Hijacking explores the infamous 1971 skyjacking, presenting a comprehensive analysis of the unsolved mystery. The book dissects the event by examining FBI files, witness statements, and physical evidence from the Boeing 727. Rather than focusing solely on Cooper's identity, the book investigates the "how" and "why" of the crime, offering insights into aviation security, criminal behavior, and the cultural context of the early 1970s. The book also highlights the enduring impact of the skyjacking on aviation security protocols.

 
The book progresses through three main sections: the hijacking itself, the ransom money, and the potential landing zones. Forensic analysis of the recovered banknotes, especially the unique serial numbers, offers clues about Cooper's potential drop zone. Furthermore, the analysis incorporates Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping to model possible landing locations, providing a unique perspective on the challenges Cooper faced.

 
By blending true crime elements with military history and aviation history, the book appeals to a broad audience interested in unsolved mysteries and the evolution of security measures.
