I really liked how this book was written from the perspective of a young boy telling the story about his uncle. The story describes the man's bravery and love of flying, and how he goes on to inspire others, like his young nephew who dreams of flying just like his uncle. The boy grows up to fulfill that dream by flying a plane in the war, as one of the Tuskegee Airmen. This was a great book that taught me something about World War II that I did not know and I would love to incorporate it into my classroom someday.moreĪ young boy growing up on a farm in Alabama dreams of being a pilot and exploring the skies in his airplane. He followed his dreams and made them come true. He did whatever he could to get up into the air and soar with the clouds so being able to pilot a real airplane for his country was something he was immensely proud of.

I think this is a very important book to incorporate into a classroom so that students understand what a remarkable moment in history this was. I had never know that there were African American squadrons in World War II or that the Air Force would have segregated them during a war. There were only four different squadrons of African Americans in the war and they were very important. This book also Wind Flyers is a book about the African American pilots for the United States during World War II.
