During World War II, black Americans were fighting for their
country and for freedom in Europe, yet they had to endure a totally
segregated military in the United States, where they weren't
considered smart enough to become military pilots. After acquiring
government funding for aviation training, civil rights activists
were able to kickstart the first African American military flight
program in the US at Tuskegee University in Alabama. While this
book details thrilling flight missions and the grueling training
sessions the Tuskegee Airmen underwent, it also shines a light on
the lives of these brave men who helped pave the way for the
integration of the US armed forces.
