Editorial ReviewsReview"Tucker knows how to mine the data for details lying well below the surface and use them to create an exhilarating narrative. This book demonstrates the power of analysis and the ability of the author to tell of the African American experience."--Mario Marcel Salas, University of Texas"This engaging biography of John C. Robinson, the 'Brown Condor,' gives the aviation pioneer his historical due and--while most studies of New World-African connections focus on western Africa--makes an important contribution to our knowledge of links between African Americans and northeast Africa, particularly the independent Ethiopian nation of Emperor Haile Sellassie."--Tim Carmichael, College of Charleston"The Father of the Tuskegee Airmen will bring new awareness and shed[s] light on what really happened."--Sun Herald"Phillip Thomas Tucker resurrects John C. Robinson, once the best-known black pilot in the world, who has since been largely forgotten. Tucker's book fill an important gap, reminding readers that Robinson, a son of the South, turned Chicago into the greatest center of black aviation in the 1930s, encouraged Tuskegee Institute to establish black pilot training, and then led the Ethiopian air force. Anyone who has ever heard of black aviation pioneers Charles Anderson, Willa Brown, Cornelius Coffey, Dale White, and Chauncey Spencer should also be familiar with John C. Robinson, without whom the others might have never learned to fly. Tucker convinces us that Robinson is one of the greatest of the black aviation pioneers and played an instrumental role not only in the establishment of black pilot training in the United States, but also in inspiring black pilots to join the fight against fascism, as he did."--Daniel L. Haulman, Chief, Organizational Histories Division, Air Force Historical Research AgencyAbout the AuthorPhillip Thomas Tucker has a doctorate in American history from St. Louis University and is the author or editor of more than twenty books devoted to various aspects of African American, Civil War, women’s, and Irish history.

"Father of the Tuskegee Airmen, John C. Robinson" This is an interesting historical book. Unfortunately it is replete with technical aviation errors which distract ones reading. I've never understood why academicians seldom, if ever subject their works to editing to editing by someone with at least a passing knowledge of aviation/aircraft?
