Hey! Oh! Ooooo. You picked me up! How sweet of you.... Oh what, I just wrote this whole thing and you expect me to write more words? Fine. Well inside what you're going to get is honesty and bad jokes. Some tears, fears, and CRAZY years. All rolled up into one insane ride. From shootings to births and mental illness to boot. Cancer, houses burning down, chronic illness... You want it we got it. It's real. It's raw. It's all the stuff nobody wants to talk about with a redheaded attitude, and a really bad sense of humor. But what can you do? This is me. This is my life.

Writer Rinker Buck looks back more than 30 years to a summer when he and his brother, at ages 15 and 17 respectively, became the youngest duo to fly across America, from New Jersey to California. Having grown up in an aviation family, the two boys bought an old Piper Cub, restored it themselves, and set out on the grand journey. Buck is a great storyteller, and once you get airborne with the boys you find yourself absorbed in a story of adventure and family drama. And Flight of Passage is also an affecting look back to the summer of 1966, when the times seemed much less cynical and adventures much more enjoyable.

With a defective undercarriage, minimum fuel, lousy weather and relying on primitive instrumentation, how do you land a Boeing? 'By the Seat of my Pants: Memoir of a Pilot' is a deeply personal memoir of courageous determination. One man's life of flying adventures; occasionally perilous, often hilarious. An intrepid but humble man refuses to allow his dyslexia and poverty to decide his future. Captain Rosslee tracks aviation history captaining twenty-seven aircraft types from Gipsy Moths to Boeings. During WW2, as a Junkers Ju86 Allied bomber pilot, he contends with makeshift maps, primitive instrumentation and limited fuel over the inhospitable East African bush. He survives three WW2 forced-landings. Landing the first aircraft with passengers at Heathrow, he is later invited to meet Queen Elizabeth. And, with Comet1, doomed to disintegrate mid-air, pure chance keeps him alive. Over the Indian Ocean, two dead engines, the third about to die, where is his closest land?
