David Hecl: Mluví k vám kapitán – Moravec Martin (2021)

He has visited dozens of countries, gathered a wealth of experiences, and in an engaging book interview, he now attempts to answer everything you have ever wondered about flying. And perhaps even what you have never thought of. Why is a smooth landing not always a good thing? Do pilots like applause? What are the handcuffs and axe for on board? When is the complete truth not told to passengers? What kind of passengers were Prince Harry or Karel Gott? How are animals, organs, gold, or human remains transported?
