Product Information
In post-war America, when valor was judged by the hallowed yardstick of Iwo Jima and the Battle of the Bulge, "hero" wasn't a word thrown around lightly. But in 1962 a civilian pilot measured up. John Murray's selfless, stunning feats garnered global headlines, prime-time media appearances, and a formal letter of gratitude from an awe-struck President Kennedy. On a moonless September night in 1962, 900 miles from land, Flying Tiger flight 923 began to fall apart-at 21,000 feet. One by one its engines burst into flames. Most of its passengers were Special Forces, en route to West Berlin. Though highly trained and ready for anything the Soviets might throw their way, they were powerless over the North Atlantic. A crash was inevitable. Survival was Mission Impossible. Yet the scrappy pilot flouted protocol, rejected the recommended emergency procedure, "landed" his big plane in the middle of a raging sea-and evacuated all 76 on-board. Tragically, however, as the private charter wasn't properly equipped for the harrowing hours adrift in bone-chilling water, 28 died before they could be rescued. Murray didn't just save 48 people from near-certain death. His stunning feats-which remain unparalleled in the history of aviation-led to safety breakthroughs that have saved countless more lives. Billions still rely on them today. Humble and quick to disavow his historic role, John Murray was a pioneer who helped pave the way for modern-day heroes like Sully Sullenberger. Flying Tiger 923 is the story of that harrowing flight.

Reviews
Commercial air travel has made great strides in passenger safety, but in 1962 plane crashes were tragic and all-too-common occurrences. The Flying Tigers, a group of American military pilots that was created just before Pearl Harbor, contracted with the government to transport soldiers and cargo on the flight known as Flying Tiger 923. The pilots approached the journey with same derring-do they had shown during WWII, but things went terribly wrong. Lindner combines aviation history and the intensity of a thriller to deliver a minute-to-minute account of the battle to stay alive against horrific odds after veteran Flying Tiger pilot John Murray (Lindner's father-in-law) managed to guide the plane down with a flight crew and 68 passengers on board and engines on fire in the midst of a storm. They plunged into the dark and roiling North Atlantic, and readers experience the terror of the impact, injuries, and frigid, turbulent water. Despite technical failures, the human instinct for survival prevailed, though lives were lost. Lindner's storytelling prowess and impeccable research into this long-obscured accident result in a gripping read and a heartfelt remembrance., Some writers have it, most don't. Eric Lindner is one of those rare finds who definitely has it. Each sentence a glittering jewel, the whole a shining monument to the power of language. Expect great things from him--this the first of a string of brilliant books to be read for generations., The author's exhaustive research and historic accuracies are impressive, particularly to aviation-literate readers. His coverage of the political climate at the time and the context of the aircraft, its crew, and its passengers are truly remarkable. The ongoing nature and impact of this seminal event on the extended families and their awe-inspiring responses beyond the physical and mental wounds, and suffering, leave you awestruck, perhaps like myself, to the point of following their plight even beyond the book itself., "A great read" --Bret Baier on Special Report with Bret Baier"Lindner's storytelling prowess and impeccable research into this long-obscured accident result in a gripping read and a heartfelt remembrance." --Booklist"An inspiring, uplifting book, with multiple heroes. Many books could be written about . . . plane crashes. Be thankful that this one was written." --New York Journal of Books"Exciting ... riveting." --The Times of Israel"A truly astonishing tale." --Irish Daily Mail"Dramatic . . . crisp, colorful." --Publishers Weekly"Phenomenal." --The Curious Man podcast"Incredible." --Forbes aviation journalist Bruce Dorminey"Staggering." --Mike McCurry, former White House Press Secretary"Spellbinding!" --Frederick W. Smith, Chairman, FedEx Corporation (which bought The Flying Tiger Line in 1989)"Compelling!" --Alan Mulally, former CEO of Boeing; inductee, International Air & Space Hall of Fame; current director, Alphabet"Breathtaking!" --Lee Woodruff, #1 New York Times best-selling author"Unputdownable!" --Robert Goolrick, #1 New York Times best-selling author"The next Unbroken." --Skal USA Journeys, "The next Unbroken." --Skal USA Journeys"Breathtaking! Forty-seven years before Sully's Hudson River feat, what John Murray did in the Atlantic Ocean stunned the world. The close-ups of how trauma ripples out and impacts people differently are deftly rendered and highly relatable." --Lee Woodruff, author of three bestsellers, including New York Times #1 In An Instant; co-founder of Stand Up For Heroes"Tiger in the Sea is one of the most remarkable sagas in the history of commercial aviation. The airmanship, courage, and commitment to duty of Captain Murray and his crew was heroic beyond measure. Their story is well told in this spellbinding book!" --Frederick W. Smith, Chairman, FedEx Corporation (which bought The Flying Tiger Line in 1989)"This compelling read illustrates leadership and the power of working together with a find-a-way attitude, as it wraps the story of a fearless pilot around intriguing narratives of other courageous people. We need the inspiration of humble, unsung heroes now more than ever!" --Alan Mulally, former CEO of Boeing and Ford; inductee, International Air & Space Hall of Fame and Automotive Hall of Fame; current director, Alphabet and Mayo Clinic"A staggering, engrossing tale of ingenuity, faith and fierce determination." --Mike McCurry, former White House Press Secretary; professor/director, Center for Public Theology, Wesley Theological Seminary"Unputdownable! That anyone survived is a miracle and tribute to the resilience of the human spirit. What the men, women and children of Flying Tiger 923 endured is unforgettable, their bravery extraordinarily moving." --Robert Goolrick, author of the New York Times #1 bestseller A Reliable Wife and The End of the World as We Know It: Scenes from a Life"A riveting story of heroism and survival. Lindner does an amazing job of capturing the most harrowing experience anyone can go through--an aircraft ditching at sea. Using the diverse voices and personal backgrounds of the passengers and crew, he weaves a rich tapestry that makes the reader part of the ordeal rather than just an observer." --Michael G. Walling, former Coast Guard officer; author, In the Event of a Water Landing"Once I started reading Tiger in the Sea, I was unable to put it down. From the first page it put me in the cockpit of a Connie--the smell, the noise, the ever-present work stress for the flight and cabin crews, even when the trip is going well. Lindner has really captured the 'feel' of what it's like to sit in an old Tiger aircraft, miles above the North Atlantic on a moonless night, far from land, without modern tools but with a multitude of serious problems to deal with all at the same time: mechanical issues, hail, high winds, and the crew's own human error. The vibration and noise, scent of tobacco, and feel of worn-out seat cushions mingle in the air with the professional swagger of the crew who possess that essential aura of experience needed to deal with a completely unexpected situation. I was absolutely captivated!" --Capt. John Dickson, 38-year FTL/FedEx pilot (retired); president of the Flying Tiger Line Pilots Association"No automation here, just pure guts. It is a perfect tale for our time, perfectly told. An irresistible page-turner." --Jack Hersch, author of The Dangers of Automation in Airliners and Death March Escape"This gripping story of hope, valor and grit transfixes the reader. It is exceptionally well researched. This captivating book is not just timely but timeless." --Kristin Meekhof, resilience expert and author of the bestselling A Widow's Guide to Healing"Remarkable . . . exciting" --Mark Shiffer, The Times of Israel"Incredible . . . astonishing." --Forbes aerospace expert Bruce Dorminey"Tiger in the Sea is one of the best crash books I've read.""Phenomenal!""Murray's piloting was nothing short of a miracle and whose handling of the emergency was professionals at its best." --Scott Hamilton, Leeham News"Phenomenal." --The Curious Man podcast, "A great read"--Bret Baier on Special Report with Bret Baier."Lindner's storytelling prowess and impeccable research into this long-obscured accident result in a gripping read and a heartfelt remembrance."--Booklist "An inspiring, uplifting book, with multiple heroes.
