Recenzii
“All Americans owe Harry Stewart Jr. and his fellow airmen a huge debt for defending our country during World War II. In addition, they have inspired generations of African American youth to follow their dreams.”
“In Soaring to Glory, my friend Harry Stewart’s extraordinary life is beautifully told by another
friend, Philip Handleman. The struggles of the Tuskegee Airmen and our success against
enormous odds makes for inspiring reading. I strongly recommend this book for anyone
who wants to know more about the pioneering flyers who broke barriers and changed the
world!”
“It is marvelous when a fascinating, well-written book turns out to be socially important as
well. Soaring to Glory is exactly that, and arrives at a time when its message is badly needed by
the nation. This is a book that can be recommended for a wide variety of reasons, the most
important of which is the standard it sets for aviation literature.”
“Starting in the early 1940s, Tuskegee Institute was at the forefront of helping prepare young
African-American pilots to fight for freedom in the skies. Harry Stewart is one of those
aspiring aviators who came to our campus as a first step in earning their wings, and then
went on to become proudly identified as a Tuskegee Airman. His story of serving our
country and overcoming obstacles—not to mention the legacy the Tuskegee Airmen leave us
with—is an inspiration for us all.”
“This book is a masterpiece. It captures the essence of the Tuskegee Airmen’s experience
from the perspective of one who lived it. The action sequences make me feel I’m back in the
cockpit of my P-51C ‘Kitten’! If you want to know what it was like fighting German
interceptors in European skies while winning equal opportunity at home, be sure to read this
book!”
"[Soaring to Glory] tells about the struggle and the greatness of the Tuskegee airmen. If you really want to know what they accomplished and how they did it, this is the book to read. Not just black Americans, but all Americans need to know this story."
