Book Description

Publication Date: Mar 1998
Finding Ourselves is Like Flying An Ancient Biplane Coast To Coast: There Are Storms Ahead, But Oonce We've Started, It's Too Late To turn Back.



To discover that time is not a straight line aimed toward infinity, Richard Bach undertook a magnificent journey. Biplane is the story of  that solo flight into the American skies -- a flight that became a personal quest to discover everything that lies beyond the ordinary.

4.0 out of 5 stars This early book shows a lot of pilot and a little philosophy 25 May 1996
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
If you read Illusions or one of Richard Bach's later books
first, as I did, you will find this to be quite a different
read. This story of trading a modern plane for a WWI
biplane and then flying it across the country was written
by a pilot for an audience of pilots. His way of looking at
the world comes through, even though it seems he was trying
to write a book for persons who like biplanes. If you liked
one of his later books and just want to read every sentece
he wrote (as I did after Illusions) this is not such a bad
read. If you also like biplanes, you got it made!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is not the book it seams 12 Sep 2006
By Babs
Format:Hardcover
I would have never read the book following the previous reviews.

Yes it is the story of a pilot and his biplane, but it is a life lesson.

It is beautiful...have a sip.

"Even freezing, one learns. Something learned about course and speed from someone who is paying attention only to his own course and speed and who doesn't even know I exist. We owe much to green sedans, and the only way that we can pay our debt to them is just to go our way as best as we can and bee an indicator ourselves without knowing when, for someone we have never seen" [Chapter 9, page 103].

If you can read through the lines...you know the essence of the story...This book teach us to take care of ourselves and to work hard to get results. But we all have the tools inside; we need passion, and believe that we can do it...

5.0 out of 5 stars a beautiful book about basic flying and a basic aircraft. 7 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is probably the authors earliest effort in writing about flying in its most basic environment.It is also about piloting a basic stick and rudder airplane, a biplane of 1929 vintage, across the American continent in the 1960's and the authors emergence into the "new age" inner thinking of his later books. The type of biplane he used in his story is a Parks and I have never, until recently, ever found this aircraft listed in any aviation books. However I have just aquired a magazine dated December 98 which shows a rebuild of a 1929 Parks biplane in Connecticut USA. This book made such a personal impression that it propelled me to finally learn to fly, after two earlier aborted attempts, and buy an older vintage airplane. I would love to talk to or email Richard Bach about this book and his other writings, any information on this would be appreciated.
