David Bach (born June 23, 1936) is an American writer. He is widely known
as the author of the hugely popular 1970s best-sellers Jonathan Livingston
Seagull and Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, among others.
Bach's books espouse his philosophy that our apparent physical limits and
mortality are merely appearance. He claims to be a direct descendant of Johann
Sebastian Bach. Bach is noted for his love of flying and for his books related
to air flight and flying in a metaphorical context. He has pursued flying as a
hobby since the age of 17. In late August 2012 Bach was badly injured when on
approach to landing at Friday Harbor his aircraft clipped some power lines and
crashed upside down in a field.
