Macmillan published Airborne in 1976 as Buckley's account of a long-planned Atlantic crossing. It became the first of several books in which he wrote at length about sailing and ocean passages.
The combination of sailing memoir, travel writing, seamanship, and photographs makes it a natural fit for readers who collect nautical books or first-person accounts of life at sea.
This copy is specifically identified on the copyright page as the Third Printing, 1976, and still has its illustrated dust jacket with the original $12.95 flap price.
It is the kind of book that works equally well on a sailing shelf or opened up and actually read.
