Wind Flyers — Angela Johnson
Three-time Coretta Scott King Awardâ€"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.
