Roosevelt ordered the U.S. Army to form the 99th Fighter Squadron, which was to be the first squadron of black pilots. The story’s main character, Henry Gooding, had always dreamed of becoming a pilot. He signed up right away for the 99th Fighter Squadron. But the road would be far from easy. Tuskegee Institute, where the pilots were to be trained, was located in the heart of the South, where there was still segregation. The pressure was on.
