Hollywood Book Review of "Tuskegee Airmen WWII Fighter Pilots: The Story of An Original Tuskegee Pilot, Lt. Col. Hiram E. Mann" by Dr. Patrick Coggins.

“I came here to thank you [Tuskegee Airmen] for saving my life. I was a bomber pilot in World War II and my plane was hit.The other white pilots took off leaving me to fend for myself when suddenly I saw the ‘Red Tail’ airplanes surrounding my aircraft and escorted me back to the base. Then they took off. I am here tonight to thank all of the Tuskegee Airmen.” -Tuskegee Airmen WWII Fighter Pilots by Dr. Patrick Coggins

"Now, I come to the deeper reason for this book. As I examined all of these events, I observed that they had common themes of trust, liberation, struggle, faith, oppression, resistance, and economic well-being." -Tuskegee Airmen WWII Fighter Pilots, Dr. Patrick Coggins

"The Slave Rebellion of Charleston: Denmark Vesey: This was an organized attempt to free enslaved Africans from the grips of slavery..." -Tuskegee Airmen WWII Fighter Pilots, Dr. Patrick Coggins

"Haitian Revolution: This struggle was an ongoing push for freedom from the shackles of harsh slavery in Haiti. The result of this tireless struggle culminated in an event in 1841 that created the first freed African Nation in the Western Hemisphere. It provided a sense of pride and a belief that freedom from slavery was possible and could only be won by personal, spiritual, psychological, and physical struggles. It had all of the ingredients of determination, planning, against all odds (Napoleon’s French Army), the treachery of victims’ oppressed faith and a sense of loyalty." -Tuskegee Airmen

"This book serves the important function of bridging that historical gap between the abstract details of the Tuskegee Airmen’s accomplishments and the personal stories of the airmen themselves. It adds dimension, depth, and texture to the “experience” at Tuskegee during that important period in our nation’s history." -Tuskegee Airmen

“The history of African Americans, including the history of African peoples, the political conflicts that led to the development of slavery, the passage to America, the enslavement experience, abolition, and the contributions of African Americans to society.” -Tuskegee Airmen WWII Fighter Pilots
