ULTIMATE CONCERNS AND OTHER VANITIES

Meer over het boek

Higher Heights is the story of Tuskegee Airman Jordan Wingate's romantic, but dangerous journey from a distinguished World War II fighter pilot to the aircraft industry's first black engineer. A pioneer of the commercial jet plane in a prop-driven world, Wingate must overcome the skepticism of relatives and friends, the intense racism of time and place ( Santa Monica in the early 50s), corporate intrigue and betrayal, and romantic relationships with two beautiful women, to blaze his own trail into uncharted territory on the civil rights frontier.
