Today is Wright Brothers Day, a national day honoring the field of aviation and celebrated on the anniversary of Orville and Wilbur Wrights first successful flight. To celebrate we are looking back at Michaels novel Airframe which is set in the world of aviation and aerospace. On the Official Michael Crichton website Michael talks about how he got the idea for writing Airframe: As is often the case in my novels, Airframe began with a real incident, which was came to my attention in an unexpected way. A friend of mine who works in aerospace called up and said, Youll never believe what just happened yesterday. Get a load of this. And he proceeded to tell me a chilling story of an international flight in which several passengers were killed in mid-air, because of what was later called turbulence. And then my friend told me what had really taken place on the flight. I found his story hard to believe, and said so. You can read the rest of Michaels story about writing Airframe on The Official Michael Crichton Website.
