Descriere
This is the untold story of the brave Korean men who took to the skies more than twenty years before the Tuskegee Airmen fought in World War II. It identifies the first Korean aviator and ties the origin of the Korean Air Force to the Korean American community who started the Willows Aviation School in 1920.
