5.0 out of 5 stars Ahh, this is the life, 2 Jun 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Nothing by Chance (Mass Market Paperback)

The last book by Richard Bach that I read. It was strange to go onto this early work after reading the likes of Illusions and The Bridge Across Forever, but underneath the young Bach and his plane talk you can still sense the spirituality burning away within him. Very uplifting book showing you can do what you want to do. I loved it, and although it's not on a par with Illusions, as he wrote it it deserves its five stars. Fellow Bach fans will adore it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flying in its Purist Form, 23 Jan 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Nothing by Chance (Mass Market Paperback)

Bach has captured flight in its purist form. He set out to do this and he did. Bach acquires an antique biplane (in this book a Fleet Biplane and in "Biplane" a Parks-Detroiter Biplane) and spends a summer in the early 1960's flying passengers throughout the mid-west, sleeping under the wing, eating questionable food, and meeting people who, in many cases remember the golden days of flight. This was the age of the Barnstormers. Bach wanted to re-create the majic and romance of these eariler aviators, share with them the joy of introducing flight to the every-day people who make up the back-bone of the great mid west. Bach cared little, as did the majority of the early aviators, of the rigid regulations imposed upon the early aviators by the Federal Government. These same regulations that soon became the demise of that beautiful time in aviation history. Part of that summer was spent traveling with a young "parachutist" and a young photographer who flew an old Luscomb. Together they re-wrote the exploits of the Barnstormers as only they could and as only Bach can write about. I loved this book, and all of Bach's books, and read it frequently. I loved the book so much I too finally was able to obtain my own antique biplane-a 1930 WACO KNF, and intend to recreate the adventure of Bach in his quest for the purist form of flight, that is, the true freedom of flight.

4.0 out of 5 stars To catch a glimpse of life in another time, and find meaning, 27 Mar 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Nothing by Chance (Mass Market Paperback)

Richard Bach writes of his 1960's attempt at living a 1920's gypsy-pilot life: barnstorming. With descriptions of wordless flight that only Bach can capture so well, he paints a beautiful collage of the sky, the lakes and the people of the midwest. This magnificent book comments on friendship, destiny, and what it means to be human.
