A man alone in the sky has a chance to touch the stars. But as Richard Bach, flying a lone jet across Europe, reaches for the eternal, he must also confront the fear and danger that shadow the unknown.

Bach's first (I think) book: His recounting of what it was like to fly jet fighters for the U. S. Air Force in Europe at the height of the Cold War. The prose isn't as polished and lyrical as it would become in Nothing by Chance, but it's a well-turned book about an under-documented place and time.

It also has one of my absolute flying-memoir titles: right up there with Fate Is The Hunter and Wind, Sand, and Stars. Show Less
