About This Book
Photographs are vital in investigating aircraft accidents. Aircraft Mishap Photography: Documenting the Evidence is a straightforward guide to the investigation process - who investigates an accident, what they wish to accomplish, and how they analyze the individual components that make up the site.
With clear prose and 120 illustrations, this book covers subjects every researcher and photographer should know; including how to find and document clues in wreckage patterns, aircraft systems, aircraft metals, power plants, aircraft fires and explosions.
Author John Panas, Jr., identifies the equipment and techniques needed to photograph the accident scene and aircraft components and discusses the care of film and equipment under normal and adverse conditions. He includes chapters on how to preserve photographs, negatives, and slides and how to use them for training purposes.
Appendixes include the consequences of exposure to aircraft fluids, military aircraft accident investigations, the effects of fire on aircraft accident investigations, the effects of fire on aircraft materials, and how to solve problems with photography and trigonometry. Review questions at the end of each chapter, plus a chapter of answers, make this book ideal for classroom use.
