Good evening to all. I've begun using this evening my new e-book's reader. And I've begun with Richard Bach first book, 'Stranger to the Ground'. The book was published for the first time in 1963. By that time, he was an F-84F Thunderstreak pilot with the New Jersey ANG (Air National Guard). His unit, 141st Fighter Squadron, 108th Fighter Wing, was deployed to Europe in TDY (Temporary DutY) in 1960, having his home base in France (not Belgium, as stated before), at Chaumont Air Base.

He's scheduled one evening  to fly to RAF Wethersfield in Essex, East Anglia, UK, just to pick up a locked bag weighing 39 lbs, containing some Top Secret documents, and drop it off at his home base...

The event was real, and Richard tell us in his book all the feelings he felt during this flight...

NOTE: As always, I deeply recommend to read this book to anyone with an aviator soul... The book is mainly technical, relating all just how to operate an F-84F and fly it across the European skies... Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to understand all the technicals... As I said before, you have to be a pilot, and know a lot about fighters, to enjoy the book. Due to it, I strongly don't recommend to read the Spanish edition, 'Ajeno a la Tierra'. I've don't read it in Spanish, but according with the quality of the translations of Richard's books into Spanish, I'm completely sure is rubbish...

Love you all...
