"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.
