Books on the Busby Era

	The Munich Air Disaster
	By Stephen R.Morrin	Publishers Gill & MacMillian	2007
	On 6 February 1958, British European Airways flight 609 crashed in a blizzard on its third attempt to take off from an ice and slush covered runway at Munich Airport. The crash claimed the lives of 23 passengers and crew including eight Manchester United player. Affectionately known as the Busby Babes. The German inquiry blamed the accident on pilot error. However, this book establishes beyond any question that this was not so. Stephen Morrin's authoritative book is a story of tragedy, a pilot's heroism in adversity, legal treachery and one of the defining moments in the Manchester United story. It was a sporting disaster that gave birth to a legend - a legend that fifty years later shows no sign of diminishing. Stephen R.Morrin is an aviation historian and author based in Cheshire. The paperback released on October 1st 2007.
