Only fourteen of the approximately 1,000 Tuskegee Airmen—the famed black aviators who fought in World War II—are still living today. This is the remarkable first-person account of one of those fourteen men, Lt. Colonel Harry T. Stewart, Jr, who flew forty-three combat missions in Italy—including one legendary mission in which he shot down three German planes in one day. Stewart and his fellow pilots faced segregation, prejudice, and disrespect—and still, day after day, they took to the skies to battle America’s enemies.
