A Guide to Hot Airplane Hijackers of the 1970s

I am very excited about Brendan Koerner’s The Skies Belong to Us: Love and Terror in the Golden Age of Hijacking. It comes out in June, and it’s the story of a young couple who hijacked an airplane as an anti-war protest. Of sorts. Do you want to read it? “RIVETING AND ILLUMINATING,” says Twitter enthusiast David Grann! So yes! You do.

But best of all, Brendan is running a Tumblr where he introduces us to a different airline hijacker every day! There are so many of them! Today’s skyjacker is super-hot, if perhaps not very organized or bright. I wonder what ever happened to him, after he got out of the nut hut in the early 70s.
