At the age of seventeen, Samuel L. Broadnax, enamored with flying, enlisted and trained as a pilot at the Tuskegee Army Air Base. Although he left the Air Corps at the end of the Second World War, his experiences inspired him to talk with other pilots and black pioneers of aviation. Blue Skies, Black Wings recounts the history of African Americans in the skies from the very beginnings of manned flights.
From Charles Wesley Peters, who flew his own plane in 1911, and Eugene Bullard, a black American pilot with the French in World War I, to the 1945 Freeman Field mutiny against segregationist policies in the Air Corps, Broadnax paints a vivid picture of the people who fought oppression to make the skies their own.
Samuel L. Broadnax graduated from Tuskegee Army Air Base with Class-45 in March 1945 as a fighter pilot. One of the celebrated Tuskegee Airmen, he was assigned to the 332nd Replacement Training Unit. He later attended Yuba College, Howard University, and the University of California, Berkeley, and has worked as a newscaster and journalist. In 2006 the Tuskegee Airmen were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor.

Proud to be a supporter of the PHP cause. Especially when I get the privilege to wear a shirt honoring our boys who have been lost but not forgotten. Please continue to add new and distinctive shirts and I will keep on buying!
The shirt is pretty and fit is true to size. When I finish the hike the shop outside was closed. I’m glad I was able to purchase my accomplishment (shirt and certificate) online.
I purchased this flag as a gift for a friend’s 65th birthday. I was looking for something unique and this flag really filled the bill. It was a simple process and everything went as planned. Once the flag arrived I was absolutely thrilled with my purchase. It was everything I expected. Being able to add the certificate with my friends fathers name was a special extra!
This Tee Shirt comes in a beautiful shade of blue with the Diamond Head Natural Historic Site in a stunning green with the circle around it. It also has a smaller version of the Diamond Head on the sleeve. Very unique.
I had the privilege in 2017 to visit Pearl Harbor. It was a visit that I had wanted to make since I was a boy. The tour and the guide provided insights with great reverence to the "Day of Infamy". Since the visit I wanted to have a flag that was flown on the Arizona, I am building a new home and it will be a pleasure to fly this flag on my new flag pole in memory of and reverence for the men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice that day in 1941. Thank you!
