4.0 out of 5 stars This early book shows a lot of pilot and a little philosophy, 25 May 1996
By A Customer
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 a beautiful book about basic flying and a basic aircraft., 7 Dec 1998
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is not the book it seams, 12 Sep 2006
This review is from: Biplane (An Eleanor Friede book) (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...
