Tuskegee's heroes : featuring the aviation art of Roy LaGrone
Charlie Cooper (Author), Ann Cooper (Author), Roy La Grone (Artist)
Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor drew the United States into history's most violent war. Despite their unequal treatment at home, America's blacks yearned for a chance to fight for their country. Tuskegee Experiment, the opportunity to serve their country-and to fly!-became reality. Although the experiment was meant to fail, the Tuskegee Airmen seized the opportunity and proved, once and for all, that blacks could fly Mustangs; the pilots of the 332nd Fighter Group never lost an escorted bomber to enemy fighters!
