review text: The author shows how the twistor connection of local twistor theory can be interpreted as a gauge field. The resulting Yang-Mills equations are equivalent to a set of gravitational equations which were originally proposed by \textit{R. Bach} (1921) in connection with Weyl's unified field theory.
