CLEARED TO LAND is the true story of the men and women of the Federal Aviation Administration (and its predecessors, the Civil Aeronautics Administration and the Bureau of Air Commerce) who for the past 50 years have dedicated themselves to making flying safe.
Although billed as "The FAA Story," Mr. Burnham's effort is
primarily a highly simplified, selective-and, one is tempted to say,

skyjacking and on its maintenance inspection service, but most of
the book is devoted to interviews with traffic controllers and
descriptions of their work, as well as to the companion efforts of

direct the traffic.
