Stranger to the Ground, published in 1963, is the first book by American writer Richard Bach. It describes a mission Bach undertook on board a Republic F-84F Thunderstreak jet fighter from Wethersfield, England, to Chaumont, France.
Reception
Writer and aviator Martin Caidin wrote for the New York Times Book Review, “Richard Bach has given us a penetrating and sensitive book that stands with the works of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Ernest K. Gann, and those select few who speak so eloquently for all pilots everywhere.”[1] An unnamed critic for Kirkus Reviews also compared Bach to the late French writer by saying "This does for the modern single-engine jet something of what de Saint-Exupery did for the old baling-wire mail plane."[2]
