Join Wayland resident and author Michael Kalafatas when he talks about the subject of his new book, Bird Strike: The Crash of the Boston Electra. This is a story of bird and man in conflict. It is an intriguing and thoughtful investigation of New England’s first major air disaster, caused by a massive bird strike, a half-century ago. Mr. Kalafatas says that Bird Strike is a rare instance where an author can simultaneously write about a fascinating historical event and a clear and present danger. The threat of bird strikes on airliners is never greater than right now as birds and aircraft fight for airspace in increasingly crowded skyways.
