Biplane across America
I found this funnily written and entertaining trip report flying an old Great Lakes from NY to Seattle. Thought I'd share.

A sort of modern day version of Richard Bach's Biplane
Read it if you ever get the chance.

I have an old Air Progress magazine where Richard Bach wrote about owning his old Sea Bee and it was a hilarious article. I've ordered some Bach books from Ebay now.

There's another less well known book called the Cannibal Queen by Dean Koontz. A tale of his leisurely journey across the states in his Stearman.
It's a gentle tale with a bit too much homespun philosophy, but entertaining just the same.
He wrote Fight of the Navigator which is a good read too.

Best book by Bach for a student pilot is "Gift of Wings". Read it when I was fourteen.
Have read all his other flying books.
And maybe one day my dream to fly across the USA in double wings may become true.
