The members of the 332d Fighter Group and the 99th, 100th, 301st, and 302d Fighter Squadrons during World War II are remembered in part because they were the only African American pilots who served in combat with the Army Air Forces during the war.

Short and sweet, this small book appears well researched and goes a long way to dispel many of the myths surrounding these airmen. Too many people take hearsay and hollywood at face value. Rather than lessen the role these men played in ww2 and equal rights, it widens their scope of achievement and places it in an actual context. I would recommend to anyone interested in black history, ww2 or military aviation. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
I would like to dedicate this to the late Lt. Col. William H. Holloman III, one of the original Tuskegee Airmen. I knew him well.
