Bach's first book, Stranger to the Ground. was not bad. It has been
downhill from there. If the ****er tells me my cancer is a gift that I
need I will break his bones.

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your cancer... What is it, and what's the prognosis?

I think Stranger to the Ground was his delivery flight in the USAF? If so,
that's the one I liked least. If it was another of his flight-related
personal narratives, I like it, as there's not been any I've not, other than
the USAF delivery. I've not read JLSeagull, but thoroughly enjoyed Biplane,
Illusions, and what might have been his last one, about his getting married,
name now forgotten...

"landing" to refuel (another lungful) way too often
