INTERVIEW – LT. COL. HARRY STEWART JR – World War II Tuskegee Airman and author of new book “Soaring to Glory” – shared his story and discussed the meaning of today’s anniversary.
- Soaring to Glory: A Tuskegee Airman’s Firsthand Account of WWII (Regnery History; June 4, 2019; $29.99) is the remarkable true story of Lt. Col. Harry Stewart Jr., one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen of World War II. In the style of Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken, award-winning aviation writer Philip Handleman recreates the harrowing action and heart-pounding drama of Stewart’s combat missions, including the legendary mission in which Stewart downed three enemy fighters.
