Tragedy and Triumph: the Ditching of Flying Tiger 923

The story of Flying Tiger Lines Flight 923 is a true drama of aviation, a story worthy of a Hollywood thriller like the movie Sully, starring Tom Hanks. In the true story of Flight 923, due to a simple mistake, a single engine malfunction gradually cascades into a situation that dooms a Lockheed Constellation to a night time ditching amid high seas in the North Atlantic. However, despite the seemingly overwhelming odds, through the pilot’s skill and the tenacity of the crew and passengers, many will survive. Unfortunately, despite the pilot’s remarkable skill, the subsequent inquest will seek to pin the accident on his unorthodox methods.
