Traces the history of the Piper Cub, describes each model and its markings, and looks at the many ways the plane has been used.

Writer Rinker Buck looks back more than 30 years to a summer when he and his brother, at ages 15 and 17 respectively, became the youngest duo to fly across America, from New Jersey to California. 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 Flight of Passage is also an affecting look back to the summer of 1966, when the times seemed much less cynical and adventures much more enjoyable.

"On many fighting fronts of the world, our tank destroyers often count on the Piper L-4 'Grasshopper' to help spot enemy tanks. Serving as the 'Eyes Upstairs,' the Piper L-4 flashes instructions by radio to the tank destroyers, directing their courses and fire. The plane's ability to fly low, land quickly almost anywhere and hide easily enables it to play an important part also in the Artillery, Cavalry and Infantry. It acts as a scout, directs troop movements, transports officer personnel and delivers messages. The advantages of the Piper L-4 in wartime will prove invaluable also in peacetime. Then, in your smart, new Piper Cub you'll hop around the country on vacation and business trips with the greatest of ease, pleasure, safety and economy"--Cover.
