NORJAK: the Investigation of D. B. Cooper by Ralph P. Himmelsbach

4.0

This book tells the true story of the skyjacker known as D.B. Cooper, who, wearing black tie attire and a bag filled with $200.000, jumped out of a plane with a parachute and was never found again.

It is told by the lead investigator of the FBI that was assigned to the case, and because of this, the books seems to be a lot less speculative than some other titles written about the case.

The story about D.B. Cooper is absolutely insane and reads like an anti-hero James Bond style. Even though the book shows no love for Cooper, it is very clear why the guy became a folk hero. It was a fascinating read.

I understood about 90% of the book as some terms (especially terms related to more technical details about planes and flying them) were unknown to me and not explained. But apart from that it was a very clear and easy read.
