Wind flyers is a historical fiction book that was published in 2007. A young African American boy tells the story of his great-great-uncle, who realized his dream of flying by becoming a Tuskegee Airman during World War II.
Reading this book in public was problematic. It's very tense and emotional. I highly recommend it.

Pilot Bill Hoffman has been asked to be substitute pilot for a flight to New York. His family is then taken hostage. They‘ll die if he doesn‘t agree to crash the plane. Newman gives us evil doers that are real, complex with understandable motives. Read it in one sitting.
