520 $aThis story reflects the heroic legacy of the 101 brave black officers of the 477th Bombardment Group, and the hundred of other members of this Group: enlisted men, as well as officers who one way or another were supportive of this protest. In the face of arrest of quarters, and the threat of court-martial, these 101 stood tall and did not blink. --amazon.com.
520 8 $aDescribes a segregated US Army Air Corps in the waning months of World War 2. The book revolves around a "mutiny" and subsequent courts martial of three African American airmen. It shows the conditions under which loyal African Americans had to endure, while attempting to fly for their country. The travails can make difficult reading. The segregation mindset was so prevalent then that to protest against it must have well seemed futile. Except to those court martialled and their supporters. One promising aspect of the narrative is how the incident forced the Army High Command to directly confront issues that it no doubt wished to ignore. In some small way, the tribulations here helped pave the path for a future integrated armed forces. --amazon.com.
