Who Were the Tuskegee Airmen?
ByPublisher Description
It's up, up, and away with the Tuskegee Airmen, a heroic group of African American military pilots who helped the United States win World War II.
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.

“You may think of the "Who is/was" series as children's books. I prefer to think of them as gateway books that lead you to other resources to learn more about a person or topic. I know so little about the Tuskegee Airmen, as much as that pains me to say. This book provides a great jumping off point that teaches some very basic information, and then the reader can continue to research more comprehensive materials and expand their knowledge base. I'm looking forward to reading more in-depth books on these heroes and their stories. 5-stars”
