On November 24, 1971, an unknown subject, also known as Dan Cooper, purchased a one-way ticket on Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305. The flight was carrying 36 passengers and crew. The flight originated in Portland, Oregon with the final destination of Seattle, Washington. The plane was hijacked just prior to its arrival in Seattle. In Seattle, the hijacker allowed the passengers and two stewardesses to depart the plane. Northwest Orient Airlines paid the hijacker $200,000. The plane departed Seattle for Reno, Nevada. It is believed the hijacker parachuted from the plane during this flight. Authorities and personnel from Fort Lewis, Washington searched for Mr. Cooper but he was never found. In 1980, an 8-year-old boy found $5,800 on the bank of the Columbia River. This is the only money ever recovered from the ransom.

Beginning in 1968 a wave of airline hijackings swept across the skies over America. There were nearly 150 hijackings of U.S. commercial flight over the next five years. The most audacious of these air pirates were the parachute hijackers, starting with 'D.B. Cooper' and ending with the hijacking of American Airlines Flight 119, the most daring of them all. John Wigger's gripping account of this period is based on fresh interviews and first-hand accounts from FBI agents, flight attendants, pilots, and passengers who were swept up in the heist and the hunt for the hijacker.
