Book Discussion About DB Cooper
Bruce A. Smith:
For the record and to help with the discussion on Dr. Edwards' book, I do believe it is a masterpiece because it possesses the greatest array of federal documents on Norjak than anywhere else in the Vortex. They are concise and comprehensive.
Now, what Edwards does with those docs is questionable. His interpretations and analysis are subject to criticism, as we have rightly seen so far at the Forum.

It would be interesting to have a "editor's choice" of FBI document pages, extracted and annoted by source, with annotations from various people as to why they are "the important stuff"
or "interesting stuff"
There's probably 300 page of key info
the problem is, a paper book is the wrong distribution mechanism. You really want a 8.5x11" medium..i.e. a coffee table book, even if paperback.
this guy wrote a web article extracting FBI doc pages. I give him credit for an interesting article. He just extracted weird things he thought his audience would be amused by.
he has fbi doc snips

I don't really think he captured the 10 weirdest though. I mean, the detail of trying to use the SR-71 for photos is weird.

While not a PhD, Timika Rohal put the effort in to publish his book on June 29,2021 this year,
and I think he didn't get enough attention from DBC researchers in Romania and other EU countries.
Here's a little promotion. I have not been compensated in any way nor have I read the book. He took a whole night to write the book, mostly (about 9 hours), so you can believe it's good! (time included one of the two poems that come gratis).
He appears to have done his research, since the book is about himself, so it was relatively straightforward to do so.
only $8.99
a bargain. Some movies cost that much to rent on Netflix. Acknowledgements page attached. 121 6x9 pages.

Watch D.B. Cooper: On The Night Of The Skyjacking: Db Cooper Story Paperback – June 29, 2021
D. B. Cooper is a media epithet used to describe an unidentified man who hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft in United States airspace between Portland and Seattle on the afternoon of November 24, 1971.
Around Thanksgiving (2010) my wife Robin and I were sitting on the sofa watching the 11:00 pm late news when they announced it was once again the anniversary of the “D.B. Cooper skyjacking event. On television, they always talk about it…this time they showed the original film footage of the airliner, taken during a stormy night in Seattle around 40 years earlier. In addition, they also displayed the composite sketch of the skyjacker, drawn from the memories of the few passengers and crew members to have observed him on the night of the skyjacking. “Look”, I told my wife, “That guy was my father. I swear to God, he’s the one who did it.” She was astonished. I went on to tell her my Dad’s brother, Bud, was in on it also. That he was a jet captain for the very airline, Northwest Orient, that was hijacked! Now, outside of conversations with my mother, I’d not mentioned a word of all this to anybody in over 40 years! The newscast went on to say that the FBI had discovered additional new evidence in the case, (In the form of DNA) again they asked for the public’s help in finally solving the case. I not only decided to tell my wife, I told her of my decision to contact the authorities including the FBI as soon as possible to reveal what I knew. I was excited that evening, I began to tell my wife more about the story.

Sounds like a re-telling of Bradley Collins' book: My Father was DB Cooper.

whenever someone tells a story about a family member 'being' Cooper, like Marla etc...
I can't help think about how it's really a story at some level about emotional pain or distance.
i.e. either someone was deceiving someone else, or someone actually didn't know much about the other person.
There's a couple common threads to everyone who thinks they "know" who cooper is.
The ones with a personal connection are odd. Does it say more about the person telling the story, or the person the story is being told about.
