Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0689842252, Paperback)

In 1927, pilot Charles Lindbergh made his famous flight between New York and Paris. After that he had many more journeys, and met many people on the way. This is the story of one such flight, when a young boy had the good fortune of meeting Charles Lindbergh in a field in Mississippi.

In her narrative, Borden beautifully recreates the excitement and awe that was felt by Harold Gilpin -- upon whose character the fictional young Gil Wickstrom is based -- when he met the renowned aviator in 1929.
