The Kinross Incident in which a US interceptor disappeared from radar screens after investigating a mysterious aircraft over Lake Superior in 1953.

A Lear Jet carrying a multi-millionaire businessman which disappeared completely in the same area as the Malaysian airliner flight MH370.

The mysterious circumstances of the death of John F Kennedy Jnr in his light aircraft while on his way to Martha’s Vineyard.

The case of businessman Alfred Loewenstein, one of the World’s richest men, who fell 4,000ft (1,219m) to his death in the English Channel in 1928 from his aircraft.
