Red Tail Captured, Red Tail Free: Memoirs of a Tuskegee Airman and POW by Alexander Jefferson and Lewis H. Carlson is a war memoir about the experiences of African-American Tuskegee Airmen pilot Alexander Jefferson, who was shot down and spent much of the war in a POW camp. The book contains a delightful multitude of drawings from Jefferson’s time in the camp, and threaded through anecdotes both funny and poignant is the grim but necessary reminder that Jefferson experienced better treatment by the Nazis he encountered than by white Americans. It’s a short book, but you’ll absolutely get a sense for the kind of man he was.
