Peter Egan finds the most interesting ways to get from Point A to Point B. Best known for his writing about vintage motorcycles and cars, Landings in America--a memoir of a six-week cross-country journey with his wife in a two-seat Piper Cub airplane--is vintage Egan. You'll learn more about America than you did in US History class and come away feeling like you were a passenger on the trip of a lifetime.

"It's no surprise then that, after decades of time spent riding and driving some of the sharpest cars and motorcycles of the 20th Century, Egan took to flying in the purest way possible: in a Piper Cub."

"The Hemingway of auto and moto writing."

"Egan's knack for sharing episodes from his life story, including his U.S. Army stint in the Vietnam war, and for taking detours when they're not expected makes for a welcomed book that's long overdue."

"In the best style of Peter Egan, the sound, smell, and experience of flying the Cub comes through.... And just as with Peter's motorcycle writing, we are greeted with a look into the simple pleasures of small-town America and the people who live there."

"Landings in America is a companion for anyone who's ever turned down a dirt road, chosen the long way home, or camped beside their bike just to hear the world go quiet. Egan may have traded handlebars for a control stick, but the ride is as familiar and fulfilling as ever."
