Sinossi

In 1966 two teenage boys flew their restored Piper Cub bi-plane across America, from New Jersey, over the green Midwest and scorching deserts, and through the Guadalupe Pass, their perilous pathway over the Rockies to California. Rinker Buck's narrative evokes the pre-Vietnam America of roadside diners and cheap motels, of cropdusters and barnstormers - the old open cockpit, tailwheel pilots who flew by the seat of their pants. It is also a tribute to a remarkable man who taught his sons to flyand then had to watch them fly away.
