"Compellingly beautiful and masterfully told."--The New York Times Book Review. "A classic of the character of a man whose great compulsion to measure himself against storm and night and fear."--Gill Rob Wilson
Kurzbeschreibung
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.

Format:Taschenbuch
If the only Bach you know is "Jonathan Livingston Seagull", forget what you think you think you know about the author. This book, Bach's first, is something entirely different. It's a classic in the tradition of great flight books like "Fate is the Hunter" and "Night Flight"
Written when Bach was an Air National Guard pilot, "Stranger to the Ground" takes you along for what is in essence a very humdrum and ordinary flight as he ferries an F86 from Germany to England. It's fairly uneventful; he passes through a storm, but he's well equipped to handle it. He even claims that the F86 is so easy to fly, anyone could handle it in level flight.
What makes it special is Bach's narration- how he conveys the wonder of it all, and finds the magic in the simple act of flying, and the excitement of those small moments, like finding the coast, sighting the airfield and landing the plane.
If you're not one who finds wonder in the simple act of flight, you may wonder why anyone would read this book. But if you're the type who looks up whenever an aircraft passes overhead, or who always takes the window seat on an airliner, or you're a pilot yourself, this is one of the finest books ever written on what it means to fly.

Format:Taschenbuch
As an Air Force Fighter Pilot, this book is my favorite. It reveals not only the obvious aspects, but also the small "quirks" that make flying, especially Fighters, magic. I only wish it was available hard back.
Format:Taschenbuch
Stranger to the Ground was like reading a miniature text book in that is was so incredibly detailed. Normally, I love details in books, but this was so obviously too much of a good thing. The details distracted me from the plot, making Stranger to the Ground not a joy to read, but a struggle. However, this book gave me a very clear view into the world of flying, and as detailed as the words were, they WERE well-written. For me, this book was boring, but I suppose anyone that has ever piloted a plane will find the author's words poetic and enjoyable.
