Join Joshua and his grandpa for a heartwarming history of the brave African American Tuskegee Airmen of World War II.

Young readers can sit with Joshua and his friends as his grandfather tells him the story of his service in World War II as a Tuskegee Airman. Topics like war, racism, and segregation may be unfamiliar to young readers, but this story explains complicated topics in ways that any child can understand. The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American military pilots, and some of the bravest among all of the armed forces, but pilots weren't the only important faction-- both men and women worked as mechanics, instructors, nurses, cooks, and many more invaluable jobs. As Joshua's grandpa says, "Everybody who helped America to win the war was a hero. Some people fought America's enemies in battles overseas. Others fought for freedom at home."

Learn about the service and sacrifice made by Joshua's grandpa, grandma, and countless others who made the Tuskegee Airmen legacy last for generations.
