Produktinformationen zu „Tuskegee in Philadelphia (ePub)“
The uplifting story of the African American Philadelphians who joined the prestigious WWII unit to serve as fighter pilots, nurses, mechanics, and more.
At the outbreak of World War II, Philadelphians heeded the call, including the valiant airmen and women of Tuskegee. Although trained in Alabama, the prestigious unit comprised dozens of Philadelphia-area natives, second only to Chicago in the country. They served as fighter pilots, bombers, nurses, and mechanics, as well as in many other support roles.
The African American service members had to overcome racism and sexism on the home front in order to serve with great distinction. Their battle for equality didn't end at the war's conclusion. Tuskegee alumni continued to serve their nation by working to secure civil rights and serve their community back home in Philadelphia. In this book, historian Robert Kodosky presents the trials and triumphs of Philadelphia's Tuskegee airmen and women.
