This is the remarkable first-person account of Lt. Colonel Harry T. Stewart, Jr., one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen, who flew 43 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.

Featuring over thirty types of Allied Forces' WWII aircraft, this book showcases rare black and white and color photographs, many previously unpublished. Each aircraft is detailed with vital information on its development, combat history, notable pilots, and key battles, alongside performance stats, range, and weapon loads. The stunning color images are sourced from the collection of renowned aviation photographer William B. Slate, capturing the exhilarating perspective of in-flight formations.
