At the age of 17, Samuel L. Broadnax--enamored with
flying--enlisted and trained as a pilot at the Tuskegee Army Air
Base. Although he left the Air Corps at the end of the Second World
War, his experiences inspired him to talk with other pilots and
black pioneers of aviation. Blue Skies, Black Wings recounts the
history of African Americans in the skies from the very beginnings
of manned flight. From Charles Wesley Peters, who flew his own
plane in 1911, and Eugene Bullard, a black American ace with the
French in World War I, to the 1945 Freeman Field mutiny against
segregationist policies in the Air Corps, Broadnax paints a vivid
picture of the people who fought oppression to make the skies their
own.
