Book excerpt: Since the dawn of aviation at the start of the twentieth century, men and aircraft have been falling out of the sky, sometimes with comical results and sometimes with tragic endings. In Wight Air Wrecks Andrew Gilliam tells the story of every crash on and around the Isle of Wight. From the plane that crashed on to the liner Normandie to the many planes, both British and German, lost during the Second World War to more recent air tragedies of the late twentieth century, they are all covered here in some detail in this directory.
