"Biplane Odyssey is an exciting story of flying adventures in a World War II-era biplane. The detailed description of terrain, landmarks and weather makes the reader feel as if he or she is flying along with the author. The section on using only a chart and compass for navigation is extraordinary - pilots could learn more from these few pages than they would by reading a half dozen books on the subject. I am in awe that he could make these flights with no navigation equipment.
Especially enjoyable is the chapter on the Yukon and Alaska and also the visits to fascinating out-of-the-way places. Alan Lopez is truly the Charles Kuralt of the Air."
