title: Odyssey of Terror: Flight 49
author:  Ed Blair 
description: ODYSSEY OF TERROR was written by veteran television journalist and Chattanooga native Ed Blair with the help of Captain William R. Haas who served as editor. The 316 page account, including ten pages of photographs, was first published in 1977. It is the most bizarre, death defying and prolonged hijacking in the annals of American aviation.

A revised and updated Flightbag edition is now available worldwide on Amazon. com's Kindle for $9.99, and in paperback for $14.99. Airline pilots and flight attendants still talk about the November, 1972 hijacking of Southern Airways Flight 49. Captain William R.
