John J. Nance (born July 5, 1946) is an American pilot, aviation analyst, and author.[1] He was born in Dallas, Texas.[2]

Biography

Nance obtained Bachelor of Arts and Juris Doctor degrees from Southern Methodist University and SMU Dedman School of Law.[3]

Nance served in the United States Air Force as a pilot during the Vietnam War and in Operation Desert Storm in Iraq. He is a lieutenant colonel with the Air Force Reserve.[3]

In January 1995 he joined ABC News as a consultant. He reported on Good Morning America. Before ABC, Nance had worked for three years at WFAA radio in Dallas, Texas. He had also appeared on over 1,300 radio and television shows, including The MacNeil–Lehrer Report, Oprah and Larry King Live.[3]

Two of Nance's books, Pandora's Clock and Medusa's Child, were adapted and broadcast as four-hour television miniseries for NBC and ABC.[4]

Nance is the author of Why Hospitals Should Fly: The Ultimate Flight Plan to Patient Safety and Quality Care and Charting the Course: Launching Patient-Centric Healthcare. These books apply the principles learned in aviation to healthcare and patient safety.[5][6]

Nance is the originator of the Red Cover Reports, a series of accident and incident analyses and recommendations using the principles of the National Transportation Safety Board accident reports colloquially known as “Blue Covers”.[7][8] The Red Cover Reports provide a neutral source of in-depth analysis of healthcare harm to caregivers and patients including the 440,000 deaths due to medical error.[9]

Also, as a former Braniff Airlines pilot, Nance authored A Splash of Colors: The Self-Destruction of Braniff International.[10]
