Book synopsis

On the first warm and sunny day of the year, Washington DC, Martin Luther King Jr Middle School principal, Sharon Riggs needs one more substitute teacher. Victor Kennedy, the father of the school's secretary, agrees to teach the seventh-grade American-history class for the day and tells the students about the Tuskegee Airmen. During World War II, the Tuskegee Airmen were the first black men allowed into combat, flying over 1500 missions over the course of the war and winning a significant battle against segregation at home. Young readers will experience for themselves the triumphant pride of these men in serving their country.
