About This Item
Gretna, LA: Pelican Publishing Co Inc, Oct 2003. 1st Ed 4th Pr. Hardbound. 8vo. 5 Pgs.. Fine in Good DJ/Good. Black Knights: The Story of the Tuskegee Airmen published by Pelican Publishing Co Inc, Gretna, LA, Oct 2003. 1st Edition 4th Printing. Hardbound. Paper DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Fine in Good DJ. 336 Pgs. ISBN 1565548280. LCCN 00-047850. By Lynn M Homan and Thomas Reilly. Foreword by Louis R Parnell. Told through fascinating interviews with veterans and historical photographs, this is the story of the men and women who served in the training program at Tuskegee Army Air Field from 1941 to 1946. Faced with the popular belief that they were incapable of mastering the intricacies of flight, the participants in the Tuskegee Experience proved their detractors wrong. Their story includes accounts of sadness, death, and success, but most importantly, it shares the efforts of African-Americans to serve their country as members of the Armed Forces during the war, despite the attempts of the War Department and Air Corps to exclude them. Illustrated with black & white photos. Description text copyright 2010 BooksForComfort. Item ID 23827.
