'The astoundingly well reported and beautifully told story of the downfall of what was once a great American company. A must-read'
Bethany McLean, bestselling author ofThe Smartest Guys in the Room
'Compelling and richly reported,Flying Blindis about so much more than the sad decline of Boeing and the tragic mistakes that led to the 737 Max disaster. It's also the urgent story of how the almighty profit motive supplanted a culture of engineering excellence in boardrooms across America'
Brad Stone, bestselling authorofThe Everything Store
The definitive exposé of how Boeing put profit before passengers, leading to the devastating loss of life in the 737 MAX crashes and the downfall of an American business giant
In examining the history of the 737,Flying Blindexplores how Boeing's new management degraded a highly-regarded plane with cost-focused mandates and skimped on testing in the race to match a competing plane from Airbus. How Boeing outsourced software work to poorly paid graduates in India and convinced the US Federal Aviation Authority to put the MAX into service without requiring pilots to undergo simulator training, and how ultimately these failures resulted in the deaths of 346 Boeing passengers.
Framed around the 737 MAX crashes,Flying Blindis the definitive exposé that for the first time tells the larger, decades-long story of how a corrupt corporate culture paved the way for a cataclysm that cost lives.
'Vividly written and meticulously researched,Flying Blindis a story everyone - every consumer, every citizen, every worker in every industry - needs to read'

'A gripping narrative and required reading for anyone who wants to understand how one of America's mightiest corporations veered so badly off course'
