    Short story

    Short story about a totally forgotten mission, the men who were a part of it and how the Red Tails helped make the mission a success! Excellent!

    Redtails

    Just finished the short Redtails. I then had to research The Forgotten 500. As a woman who doesnt really have much interest in war stories I have been drawn into the story of the Tuskeegee Airmen, the Forgotten 500 and the rally to save them. Both books are must reads for all Americans. WE can all be proud to have had men and women, and to have those now that will fight for our freedoms.
