Description
All he ever sought after to do was once fly.
Three-time Coretta Scott King Award-winning creator 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 creator/artist duo finds 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 people who find themselves best now starting to consider the part these brave souls played within the history of The us.
