9/11

Moment by Moment
In Touching History: the Untold Story of the Drama That Unfolded in the Skies Over America on 9/11, Lynn Spencer offers a moment-by-moment narrative of what happened in the skies over our country on 9/11.

To write the book, Spencer spent three years interviewing commercial pilots, air crew, civilian and military air traffic controllers and military personnel, to recount the story in breathtaking detail. Spencer also quotes directly from Cockpit Voice Recorder transcripts; these capture the courage of real people confronting an unprecedented threat and the worst catastrophe in American aviation history.

Spencer's book is all but impossible to put down.
