This book is an excellent companion piece for use by middle and high schools teaching about social conditions and history of pre-post WWII. The introduction gives details about not only Af-Americans interested in flight, but also women, and is the first book I've seen that talks about the sister of the Wright brothers. Good overall details about the first Black fighter pilots who rose above all criticism to become heroes during the war in Europe and were the forerunners of the Civil Rights Movement by creating the first executive order to end racial segregation.
