520    "He had to sit in a segregated rail car on the journey to 
       Army basic training in Mississippi in 1943. But two years 
       later, the twenty-year-old African American from New York 
       was at the controls of a P-51, prowling for Luftwaffe 
       aircraft at five thousand feet over the Austrian 
       countryside. By the end of World War II, he had done 
       something that nobody could take away from him: He had 
       become an American hero. This is the remarkable true story
       of Lt. Col. Harry Stewart Jr., one of the last surviving 
       Tuskegee Airmen of World War II. Award-winning aviation 
       writer Philip Handleman recreates the harrowing action and
       heart-pounding drama of Stewart's combat missions, 
       including the legendary mission in which Stewart downed 
       three enemy fighters. Soaring to Glory also reveals the 
       cruel injustices Stewart and his fellow Tuskegee Airmen 
       faced during their wartime service and upon return home 
       after the war. Stewart's heroism was not celebrated as it 
       should have been in postwar America -- but now, his 
       boundless courage and determination will never be 
       forgotten." --|cFrom publisher's description.
