A Train Memoirs of a Tuskegee Airman autographed

Memoirs of a Tuskegee Airman (autographed)
by Charles W. Dryden

A moving personal account by one of the first Tuskegee airmen, which illustrates the period of racial integration in American military and civilian life.

A-Train is the story of one of the black Americans who, during World War II, graduated from Tuskegee AL Flying School and served as a pilot in the Army Air Corps 99th Pursuit Squadron. Charles W. Dryden presents a fast-paced, balanced, and personal account of what it was like to prepare for a career traditionally closed to African Americans, how he coped with the frustrations and dangers of combat, and how he, along with many fellow black pilots, navigators, bombardiers, and crewmen, emerged with a magnificent war record.
