This is a flyer's book. Like E.K.Gann, Dick Bach has a way of turning an apparently straightforward night op into a magical oddysey. For fans of Bach's literary talents concerning flight I would suggest they try English author/ex-fighter jock, John Templeton Smith's works - he is a writer, who like Bach, adds a third dimension to the written word.

I'm undergoing training to be a fighter pilot and this is one book which I really felt great while reading. It was almost as if it's happening with me!

Early Bach; and his better side I must say. You are with him on those night flights.

If you at all like solo flying and some gentle self analysis, then read this book. The author has an easy style and some of his other books are well worth checking out as well.
