First rate. It certainly stands out from the many previous works dedicated to the Tuskegee Airmen. This is a must-have book for anyone interested in the more esoteric aspects of WWII flying., The Tuskegee Airmen's stories have been told before in films, books, and museum exhibits. Yet, Joseph Caver, Jerome Ennels, and Daniel Haulman have given us that almost familiar tale with carefully researched and well-sourced new dimensions. This book ... was created with love for the enduring influence of the Tuskegee Airmen on the military, on aviation, and on the American principle of fair play., The book does an excellent job of showing what daily life was like for [the Airmen] as they trained. -- American Aviators of WWI, The Tuskegee Airmen, An Illustrated History: 1939-1949 fills a significant void in the existing literature on these men by offering several hundred captioned photographs depicting African American pilots before 1941 through the postwar. The photos bring to life the combat operations of the Airmen and provide glimpses of their training, combat support activities, and social life ... The photos tellingly reveal the depth of the segregation policies of the [American Air Force] of the 1940s. The extensive collection of images and detailed chronology make this book a welcome addition to the growing number of works on the Airmen., First rate.

Synopsis
Many documentaries, articles, museum exhibits, books, and movies have now treated the subject of the Tuskegee Airmen, the only black American military pilots in World War II. Most of these works have focused on their training and their subsequent accomplishments during combat. This publication goes further, using captioned photographs to trace the Airmen through the various stages of training, deployment, and combat in North Africa, Italy, and over occupied Europe. Included for the first time are depictions of the critical support roles of non-flyers: doctors, nurses, mechanics, navigators, weathermen, parachute riggers, and others, all of whom contributed to the Airmen's success. In words and pictures, this volume makes vivid the story of the Tuskegee Airmen and the environments in which they lived, worked, played, fought, and sometimes died., Many documentaries, articles, museum exhibits, books, and movies have now treated the subject of the Tuskegee Airmen, the only black American military pilots in World War II.
