What could have been the worst mid-air aircraft disaster in US aviation history, 36,000 feet over Carleton, Michigan, a death toll exceeding 300 people Thanksgiving eve 1975 was averted by a highly trained pilot who knew what to do and did it masterfully.....avoiding a collision by twenty feet.....by the blink of an eye. More than four decades later passenger Burt Herman met and hugged the 98 year old pilot, then found several of the passengers whose stories are shared in this incredible book about Captain Guy Eby and the air disaster that wasn't.
