I Wanted to be a Pilot: The Making of a Tuskegee Airman

Sometimes history is made by a dyslexic, mischievous boy who hates school, is a descendant of one of Frederick Douglassâ€™ half-sisters, and whose Pops was a Buffalo Soldier. In I Wanted to be a Pilot, one of the less than 100 living Documented Original Tuskegee Airman, Franklin J. Macon, tells the lively stories of how he overcame lifeâ€™s obstacles to become a Tuskegee Airman. Soar through history with Franklin as he conquers dyslexia, finds mischief, and grows up to change the course of America. Readers laugh at Frankâ€™s childhood antics, while being reminded that disabilities like Frankâ€™s dyslexia, repeating a grade in school, and other hardships can be overcome. I Wanted to be a Pilot encourages kids to recognize history, reach for their dreams, and even make their own toys as they are reminded of the great strength and determination of the men and women who came before them.
