Wind Flyers is Excellent

My 4 year old son is addicted to airplanes and flying. He loves this book so much that he has memorized every page in just a few months. Is a very good book for children of all ethnic backgrounds!

Wind Flyers

Lyrically written, beautifully illustrated, the book opens a piece of history with which I was not familiar. Dreams, bi-planes, and fulfillment come together wonderfully here.

Simple introduction to the Tuskegee Airmen's accomplishments.

Angela Johnson's WIND FLYERS tells how a boy's love of flight takes him on a journey from Alabama to the war in Europe, telling the story of the Tuskegee Airmen of the second world war. Lovely full-color paintings by Loren Long blend with the story of a boy's early love for flight in this simple introduction to the Tuskegee Airmen's accomplishments.
