Description
A brand-new story about World War II's daring African-American heroes from the author of The Forgotten 500.
The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American pilots in the US military, and Operation Halyard was one of the most extraordinary rescue missions of World War II, described in Gregory Freeman's The Forgotten 500. Now a newly discovered connection between them has come to light-the "Red Tails" flew fighter cover for the mission. The remarkable story is revealed here by the author whose work James Bradley calls "amazing [and] riveting."
