Alexander Jefferson, who was one of 32 Tuskegee Airmen from the 332nd Fighter Group to be shot down defending a country that considered them to be second-class citizens. In this vividly detailed, deeply personal story, Jefferson writes as a genuine American hero about what it meant to be an African American pilot in enemy hands, fighting to protect the promise of freedom. The book features the sketches, drawings, and other illustrations Jefferson created during his nine months as a POW, and Lewis Carlson?s authoritative background on the man, his unit, and the fight Alexander Jefferson fought so well. This revised edition covers the story of Jefferson?s continuing outreach and education work, as he brings the story of the Tuskegee Airmen to communities and schools across the country, and the presentation of the Congressional Gold Medal to the Airmen in 2007.Red Tail Captured, Red Tail Free is perhaps the only account of the African American experience in a German prison camp. 410 0$aWorld War II--the global, human, and ethical dimension ;$v5. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPrisoners and prisons, German 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xParticipation, African American 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAerial operations, American 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$vPersonal narratives, American 606 $aPrisoners of war$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aPrisoners of war$zGermany$vBiography 606 $aFighter pilots$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAfrican American fighter pilots$vBiography 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPrisoners and prisons, German. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xParticipation, African American. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAerial operations, American. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aPrisoners of war 615 0$aPrisoners of war 615 0$aFighter pilots 615 0$aAfrican American fighter pilots 676 $a940.54/4973/092 676 $aB 676 $a940.544973092 700 $aJefferson$b Alexander$f1921-$01635846 701 $aCarlson$b Lewis H$01635847 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808155603321 996 $aRed Tail captured, Red Tail free$93976827 997 $aUNINA
