reviewed Touching History: The Untold Story of the Drama That Unfolded in the Skies Over America on 9/11 on August 09, 2018 Touching History: The Untold Story of the Drama That Unfolded in the Skies Over America on 9/11
Lynn Spencer's book on 9/11, "Touching History", is not a new book. It was originally published in 2008, and then republished in 2018. Spencer covers the response of the American air system - commercial, general, and governmental - to the attacks on 9/11.
Most people reading this review will remember "that day"; the skies were so blue almost everywhere in the country that they were termed by flyers as "severe clear". It was into those skies that three wide-bodied airplanes were flown into buildings and another went into the ground in rural Pennsylvania. But what of the other commercial airplanes in the air that day? Lynn Spencer interviewed pilots - both commercial and military - and airline and government officials as the skies were cleared. Spencer is a very good writer and the book is very interesting.
By the way, there's a fantastic graphic on You Tube. I can't link but if you put in "September 11th 2001 Airspace Shutdown (With Timeline) "
