 The ATR-72 (Robert Dorsett)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Frederick makes some disturbing allegations as to ATR's reluctance to fix the problem, denying that a problem existed (even after a crash in Italy), exerting pressure against the Americans (influencing the French to threaten certificate action against the 737 for the two unexplained crashes), and, most especially, threatening LEGAL action against any critics.
The latter, in particular, is interesting to me, because it is a tactic which Airbus has recently started using (VERY aggressively) against critics in Europe (not to mention that childish tiff with Boeing on the A340 cruise figures).
In fact, if there's a Blue Sky theme to drag out of this book, it has nothing to do with the ATR: it's more the failing of oversight responsibilities of the US government.

This effect has been discovered and quantified during tests that have been performed to qualify the type 2 fluid for ATR family.
