Product Description

Ingram

In a sublime journey toward understanding time and space, Richard Bach takes flight through American skies in a 1929 biplane. Soaring from New Jersey to California, he learns to navigate by following railroads and highways, masters the dangers of thunderstorms, and tastes the exhilaration of flyingeet above the ground. Biplane describes a magnificent personal quest. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Publisher

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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Boring? No!, Oct 29 2003

By	ragwing (Mississaga, Ontario) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Biplane (Paperback)

Indeed, "a reader" is correct ... this book contains little or no philosophy per se (it's much closer to "Stranger to the Ground" than to "Illusions"). But it is NOT boring, particulary if you have even passing interest in aviation (and if you don't, why are you reading Richard Bach?!).

5.0 out of 5 stars An Odyssey of flight, Sep 21 2003

By	Arlene Millman "chyron24" (Huntington, New York United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Biplane (Paperback)

This is truly a delightful odyssey of flight through time and space, into unknown dimensions. Simultaneously lovely and spine tingling. An amazing portayel, Richard Bach has a way of arranging words to describe the indescribable!

4.0 out of 5 stars An Echo of my Experience, Jun 2 2000

By	Julie G. Jones (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Biplane (Paperback)

In Richard Bach's words, the emotions of flying come alive to the reader. As someone who has experienced those same emotions in an ancient biplane, I was moved to tears while reading my deepest feelings put into words.

4.0 out of 5 stars This early book shows a lot of pilot and a little philosophy
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. Read more
