Editorial Reviews

"Excellent history of the first African-American military pilots...Moye's lively prose and the intimate details of the personal narratives yield an accessible scholarly history that also succeeds as vivid social history." —Publishers Weekly

"A scholarly but accessible treatment of a significant forerunner of the civil-rights movement." —Kirkus Reviews

"In several particularly moving passages, veterans recall the heavy load they carried to attain not only personal success but also achievement for their entire race...The personal nature of the examples Moye cites make it a far deeper and richer narrative than typical WWII fare...As both civil rights and U.S. military history, the Tuskegee Airmen comprise a worthy subject , while the author's friendly style should open the title up to even casual readers." —Booklist

"This book is an important contribution that will be enjoyed by general readers and historians." —ForeWord Reviews

"Moye, a history professor at the University of North Texas, directed the National Park Service's five-year Tuskegee Airmen Oral History Project. He draws on those interviews to inject a first-person, insider feel into his exhaustive study of the Tuskegee program."
—The Dallas Morning News

"Moye draws on three elements to set his book apart as the best overall account of how blacks aspired to fly for the Army Air Corps were accepted into an experimental program at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama starting in 1941, and then amassed a remarkable wartime record that ultimately led to the integration of the U.S. armed forces." — Aviation History

"[An] enriching, deeply humane, and academically rigorous volume." — CHOICE
