Book Synopsis Tuskegee's Heroes by : Charlie Cooper Ann Cooper
Book excerpt: Now in softcover, the uniquely American story of the all-Black U.S. Army Air Corps unit in the segregated U.S. Army of World War II. Based at Tuskegee Air Base in Alabama, the 332nd Fighter Group flew their red-tailed P-40s and P-51s in North Africa and Europe. Despite their own casualties, these fighter-escorts never lost a bomber during the war -- in fact, bomber groups often requested the Tuskegee Airmen as escorts. First published as a hardcover (0-7603-0254-5), Tuskegee's Heroes is their story, told through first-person accounts, archival photos and the wonderful color paintings of Tuskegee airman Roy LaGrone.
