Georg Gerster: Swissair Posters Swissair was perhaps the most prestigious European airline at a time when flying was still a matter of quality. Matching the company’s standards of exclusivity, cosmopolitan spirit, and taste, their poster campaign became a legend in itself. Georg Gerster, award-winning Swiss pioneer of aerial photography, spent two decades shooting Swissair’s advertising posters that today, with the airline now defunct, are pricy collectors’ items. A unique fusion of Land Art, Minimalism, and photography, Gerster’s bird’s-eye view pictures display a travel romanticism devoid of the usual tourist kitsch. Joseph Beuys once said, "whether advertising is art depends on what it advertises." Promoting the beauty of our planet in pictures of a "timeless zeitgeist," there’s no doubt that Georg Gerster’s Swissair posters are unique pieces of art. This book for the first time presents the entire collection of Gerster’s breathtaking 1975 to 1995 Swissair posters. Text by Georg Gerster

Every disaster has its own cause and its own effects. Undoubtedly, the effects of the September 1998 crash of Swissair Flight 111 into the unforgiving waters off Peggys Cove, Nova Scotia—killing all 229 people on board—has had tremendous personal consequences. The purpose of this book, though, is to reach back to events leading up to the crash, in order to discover what caused the worst disaster in Canada’s aviation history: to find out why, in 16 terrifying minutes, a state-of-the-art jetliner lost all navigational aids; and why, when only minutes away from Halifax International Airport, it turned back out to sea. There were no survivors of Swissair 111 to describe what happened and almost nothing larger than hand-sized pieces from which to reconstruct the accident. But author and pilot Don Ledger carefully re-creates what took place in the cockpit of the stricken airliner, describing each link in a disastrous chain of events. With clarity, depth, and respect for all those involved, Swissair Down takes us from the pilot’s first distress call to the moment—16 minutes later—when the aircraft hit the sea and exploded, from recovery efforts aboard local fishing boats to a high-tech military search, and from the shocking complacency of the airline industry to our future safety as passengers.

On the 2nd of September, 1998, near the small fishing village of Peggy’s Cove, N.S., a Swissair passenger jet carrying 229 people crashed into the ocean with a complete loss of life. This book is the true story of the crash investigation as told by the RCMP’s main crime scene investigator who worked on the investigation from start to finish. For more than four years, he searched for the truth amid the remains of human flesh, and the debris of the aircraft. What he found was not what was presented to the public. Nepotism, deception, intimidation, and lies were tools used by supervisors and managers to overcome this one-person criminal investigation and keep the truth from the public. This is the in-depth story that shows how the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada broke the law, and failed to perform their legal obligations to the Canadian and International public, and to the victims and their families.

"Swissair 1-1-1 is declaring Pan Pan Pan. We have smoke in the cockpit." Seventeen minutes after the co-pilot's distress call, the Geneva-bound jet crashed into the Atlantic off Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia just over an hour after leaving New York on September 2, 1998, killing all 229 people on board.Now, a year later, acclaimed journalist Stephen Kimber tells the moving story of the crash and its far-reaching human consequences. Kimber introduces us to a wide variety of people: from the victims and their families to the recovery teams, pathologists and investigators who are still searching for answers. As with any disaster, the effects are unpredictable and heartwrenching. In a fast-paced and compelling style, Flight 111 traces  the interconnected paths of the people whose fates were forever altered by what happened that night.
