Wind Flyers

Description

This is beautiful! A perfect way to educate young people and make them aware of the contributions of the Tuskegee Airmen. This book makes me even prouder that my dad was a member of this prestigious group. —
Robin Roberts anchor ABC News “Good Morning America”

“All he ever wanted to do was fly.”

“Three-time Coretta Scott King Award-winning author Angela Johnson and “New York Times” bestselling illustrator Loren Long invite readers to ponder a band of undercelebrated World War II heroes — the Tuskegee Airmen. With fleeting prose and transcendent imagery this book by the masterful author/artist duo reveals how a boy’s love of flight takes him on a journey from the dusty dirt roads of Alabama to the war-torn skies of Europe and into the hearts of those who are only now beginning to understand the part these brave souls played in the history of America.” (publisher)
