It was 'Dan' Cooper, not D.B.

By HAL D. STEWARD Chronicle Staff Writer All this time you have thought the first skyjacker to parachute — he did it in Nov. 1973 northeast of Woodland — to earth with his $200,000 loot was named D.B. Cooper. Not so. He was never known as D. B. Cooper except in the public mind. He called himself simply Dan Cooper when he bought his ticket and boarded the plane at Portland, en route to Seattle, where he com- mandeered the jet and got his parachutes and money. It is as Dan Cooper that the FBI is still looking for him. This is the kind of dispensable information you'll find in a new book called "The Dictionary of Mis- information" by Tom Burnam (Thomas Y. Crowell Co., New York). The book puts us straight on a variety of esoteric mis-information, most of which has been passed down to us as accurate for several generations.
