A Thrilling 1992 Aviation Travel Memoir of Flying a 1942 Stearman Across 48 States

Bestselling novelist Stephen Coonts trades jet turbines for the open cockpit of a restored 1942 Stearman biplane, "The Cannibal Queen," logging a three-month, 15,000-mile flight across the contiguous United States. Setting off in the summer of 1991, Coonts flew low and slow, navigating by ground landmarks and landing at grass airstrips from coast to coast.

His flight log records the tactile reality of vintage aviation—wrestling manual controls through summer thunderstorms and managing radial engine repairs—while capturing conversations with crop-dusters, local airfield mechanics, and small-town pilots.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Stephen Coonts delivers an evocative aerial perspective on American geography and grassroots aviation subculture. Essential reading for pilots, aviation history enthusiasts, and American road-trip readers.
