Product Description

Product Description

The compelling real-life adventure from New York Times bestselling author Stephen Coonts—now available as an ebook

Bestselling author Stephen Coonts’s stirring ode to aviation: a revealing account of his three months spent exploring small-town America from the skies
 
Stephen Coonts spent the summer of 1991 cruising above rivers, farms, mountains, and swamps in the Cannibal Queen, his restored 1942 Boeing-Stearman open cockpit biplane. With his fourteen-year-old son, David, along for the ride, Coonts explored the diverse landscapes of the forty-eight contiguous states, touching down in each one to record the untold stories of America’s countryside. The result is The Cannibal Queen, a striking memoir that features all the technical aviation know-how of Coonts’s acclaimed thrillers, but with the spotlight focused squarely on the beauty of rural America and the spirit of those who live there.
 
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Stephen Coonts, including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cannibal Queen 6 Sep 2012

Great story, well told! As a "low and slow" private pilot for the past 20 years this book brings back the adventure of cross-country flying across America. It is a story with the same theme as "Flight of Passage" and "Flight of the Gin Fizz", but the writing style is even better. In addition the author weaves the rich history of the Stearman biplane, and provides the day-to-day issues that faced pilots of the "golden age of aviation". If your are a person who travels for the trip more then the destination you will enjoy this book even more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming travel book 29 Jun 2012
By T. Wicker - Published on Amazon.com
I bought this book years ago and gave it away as a gift after reading it twice. I'm glad it's available now as a Kindle edition. Similar to Blue Highways, this is a book about traveling in heartland America and self-discovery by the author.
