Summary:
Award-winning author Carole Boston Weatherford s innovative history in verse celebrates the story of the Tuskegee Airmen: pioneering African-American pilots who triumphed in the skies and past the color barrier. I WANT YOU! says the poster of Uncle Sam. But if you re a young black man in 1940, he doesn t want you in the cockpit of a
war
plane. Yet you are determined not to let that stop your dream of flying. So when you hear of a civilian pilot training program at Tuskegee Institute, you leap at the chance. Soon you are learning engineering and mechanics, how to communicate in code, how to read a map. At last the day you ve longed for is here: you are flying! From training days in Alabama to combat on the
front
lines in Europe, this is the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, the groundbreaking African-American pilots of
World
War
II. In vibrant second-person poems, Carole Boston Weatherford teams up for the first time with her son, artist Jeffery Weatherford, in a powerful and inspiring book that allows readers to fly, too.
