Falling: Amazing Survival Stories
From Jim Hamilton:
"I have just finished writing and illustrating a new book called “Falling: Amazing Survival Stories”! Imagine falling from thousands of feet in the air without a working parachute. Could you survive? Your chances are small, but a surprising number of individuals have lived to tell the tale. I have been collecting these stories since 2001 on my website, The Free Fall Research Page
In my new book, there are 144 pages filled with color illustrations that bring these remarkable stories to life. I have included a two-page example from the book below. It covers the story of a U.S. airman named Alan Magee who survived a long fall without a parachute during World War II after the B-17 bomber he was on was shot down over St. Nazaire, France."
