Hans Bieri · The author
One life.
Many new beginnings.
A childhood in Switzerland. A new continent.
A dream of flying.
Hans Bieri’s path is full of turns. A restless childhood, the move to Canada in the 1960s and his work as a professional pilot take him far beyond his homeland.
His Christian faith and the choice he made for his family give this story its personal direction. In “Call from Heaven” («Ruf vom Himmel») he shares his memories.
