The Legend of D B Cooper (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781605520148)

He has been called "a Northwest folk hero," "Jesse James," and "Billy the Kid." But until now, he hasn't been called a she. Contrary to popular belief, D.B. Cooper not only survived the infamous hijacking on November 24, 1971. He also committed the high-flying caper as a woman. Cooper's real name was first Bobby, then Barb, Dayton. "Cooper" had gender reassignment surgery in December 1969. In 1971, he pulled his buccaneering swipe dressed as a man and walked away as a woman. Bobby/Barb lived to the age of 76 and died of natural causes on February 20, 2002
