Description
Makos tells the inspirational story of the U.S. Navy's most famous aviator duo, Lieutenant Tom Hudner and Ensign Jesse Brown, and the Marines they fought to defend. A white New Englander from the country-club scene, Tom passed up Harvard to fly fighters for his country. An African American sharecropper's son from Mississippi, Jesse became the Navy's first black carrier pilot, defending a nation that wouldn't even serve him in a bar. Go into the cockpit as these bold young aviators cut their teeth at the world's most dangerous job-- landing on the deck of an aircraft carrier.-- adapted from jacket, regular print edition
