After acquiring government funding for aviation training, civil rights activists were able to kickstart the first African American military flight program in the US at Tuskegee University in Alabama. While this book details thrilling flight missions and the grueling training sessions the Tuskegee Airmen underwent, it also shines a light on the lives of these brave men who helped pave the way for the integration of the US armed forces." -- Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hilo Public Library J -- Popular Title, See Staff 940.54497 Smith   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Tuskegee Sm WhoWas/Biography Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 940.54497 Sm   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
