On November 24, 1971, a quiet man boarded Northwest Orient Flight 305 carrying nothing more than a briefcase and a carefully planned secret. Hours later, after hijacking the aircraft, collecting $200,000 in ransom, and ordering four parachutes, he leapt into the stormy night and disappeared without a trace.

More than fifty years later, the true identity of D. B. Cooper remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history.
