Book synopsis

Another jewel in the growing literature about African-American contributions to aviation has arrived with the release of Double V: The Civil Rights Struggle of the Tuskegee Airmen. Thoroughly researched and punctuated with absorbing personal vignettes, the book is far more than a rehash of the struggles and triumphs of the famed black pilots and crewmen who served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II.... This book is a valuable reference of African-American accomplishments in aviation from World War I through WWII. The depth with which the authors have covered their subject may well be unmatched in any single volume. For everyone interested in examples of the human spirit triumphing over immense obstacles, this book will please and inspire.
