Flight of Passage: A True Story
Buck, Rinker
New York: Hyperion. Very Good+. Spine creases and some wear at top of spine.. 1998. Paperback. 0786883154 . 368 pp. <P>In the summer of 1966, Rinker and Kernahan Buck, two schoolboys from New Jersey, bought a dilapidated Piper Cub for $300, rebuilt it in their barn and took off on the journey of a lifetime -- a daring flight across the Rockies to California. They became the youngest aviators on record to fly American coast to coast, and their thirst for adventure, and the simple audacity of their trip, mirrored the innocence of the times. Because they couldn't afford one, they navigated all the way to California without a radio.<BR> . ( more information) Offered by Storbeck's (United States)
