Description
Flying Blind: The 737 MAX Tragedy and the Fall of Boeing by Peter Robison is an investigative book that examines the corporate failures behind the Boeing 737 MAX disasters of 2018 and 2019, which resulted in the loss of 346 lives.
Drawing on detailed reporting, the book reconstructs how systemic dysfunction, regulatory breakdown and internal corporate pressures contributed to the design and certification failures that led to the crashes. It also explores the broader culture within Boeing, where competitive pressures and financial incentives influenced safety decisions and engineering oversight.
As a work of investigative journalism and corporate exposé, the book provides a critical account of one of the most significant aviation scandals in modern history. It falls within the sub-genre of business non-fiction and investigative reporting.
Urgent and deeply researched, this title is suited to readers interested in aviation history, corporate accountability and real-world case studies of industrial failure.
