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 \u003ci\u003eFlight of Passage\u003c\/i\u003e is also an affecting look back to the summer of 1966, when the times seemed much less cynical and adventures much more enjoyable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRinker Buck\u003c\/b\u003e began his career as a reporter for the \u003ci\u003eBerkshire Eagle\u003c\/i\u003e in western Massachusetts.
