Book Overview
Three-time Coretta Scott King Award-winning author Angela Johnson and New York Times bestselling illustrator Loren Long introduce readers to a band of under-celebrated World War II heroes--the Tuskegee Airmen. All he ever wanted to do was fly. With fleeting prose and transcendent imagery, this book 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.

My 4 year old son is addicted to airplanes and flying. He loves this book so much that he has memorized every page in just a few months. Is a very good book for children of all ethnic backgrounds!

Lyrically written, beautifully illustrated, the book opens a piece of history with which I was not familiar. Dreams, bi-planes, and fulfillment come together wonderfully here.
Simple introduction to the Tuskegee Airmen's accomplishments.
