Book description
Gaffes galore from the world of entertainment, the never-tobe-forgotten 1987 hurricane howler, the canonical con-trick that solved a medieval cashflow problem and still keeps believers on their knees in Turin, the US ex-President’s broadcasting bloomers, the Spruce Goose’s 1-minute flight, the Sinclair C5’s short run, the Hitler diaries hoax that foolsed the wise and worthy, these are among a list of dropped clangers resounding worldwide and zipply related here.
Wrongful imprisonments and a near-fatal shoot-out resulting from mistaken identity, the heroic failure of Antarctic explorer Captain Scott and the death dice of air ace Amy Johnson, as well as a catalouge of tragic human errors leading to disasters the whole world mourns, are also recorded.
