Over dit product

Product Information

Jesse Leroy Brown was raised in the segregated South by a hard-working, loving family who instilled values of dignity, education, and perseverance. A star athlete and an outstanding student, he was determined to become a Navy pilot, although such a thing was unheard of for a black man in the 1940s. Undeterred, he entered Ohio State University, rather than a black college, and was able to qualify for the Navy reserve and was accepted into the Naval Air Training School at Glenview, Illinois. Despite racism, and open hostility by many of his superior officers, he finally reached his goal, flying a Navy fighter plane and landing it on a carrier -- the first African-American ever to do so.

Reviews
"A compelling portrait of a quiet hero, of the racial climate between 1926 and 1959, and of the last days of propeller-driven naval aviation." Booklist, "A compelling portrait of a quiet hero, of the racial climate between 1926 and 1959, and of the last days of propeller-driven naval aviation." -- Booklist, "The author, Theodore Taylor, speaks of Jesse Brown's flight metaphorically as this is his biography of Brown. And what a bio this is! Brown was the naval aviator who was raised poor but well and known as the U.S. Navy's first Afro-American aviator. He was a man who could be anyone's friend and his manner of death in a Corsair during the Marine's retreat from the Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War is a tale well worth the telling. Like many, though not enough authors writing history, Taylor brings in the human dimension so readers obtain understanding along with knowledge." --SeattlePi, "The author, Theodore Taylor, speaks of Jesse Brown's flight metaphorically as this is his biography of Brown.
