A Tuskegee Airman’s Firsthand Account of World War IIBy Philip HandlemanNarrated by Arthur MoreyLength7h 43m
About this audiobook
The valiant fight for freedom in the air and dignity on the ground
He had to sit in a segregated rail car on the journey to army basic training in Mississippi in 1943. But two years later, the twenty-year-old African American from New York was at the controls of a P-51, prowling for Luftwaffe aircraft at 5,000 feet over the Austrian countryside. By the end of World War II, he had done something that nobody could take away from him: He had become an American hero.
This is the remarkable true story of Lieutenant Colonel Harry Stewart Jr., one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen of World War II. Award-winning aviation writer Philip Handleman re-creates the harrowing action and heart-pounding drama of Stewart’s combat missions, including the legendary mission in which Stewart downed three enemy fighters.
Soaring to Glory also reveals the cruel injustices Stewart and his fellow Tuskegee Airmen faced during their wartime service and upon return home after the war.
Stewart’s heroism was not celebrated as it should have been in postwar America. But now, his boundless courage and determination will never be forgotten.
