"We grabbed hands and raised our arms to the heavens."
The
Hallelujah Flight
by Phil Bildner,
illustrated by John Holyfield
James Banning had
a dream. He dreamed of being the first African-American pilot to make
a transcontinental flight across North America in 1932. Along with his
mechanic, Thomas Allen, Banning cobbled together pieces of a dilapidated
OXX6 Eagle Rock bi-wing airplane and chugged from California to New York
in 21 days. How did he do it with no money? What unimaginable
plan enabled the two unlikely men to embark on an extraordinary adventure
into history?
The Hallelujah Flight by Phil Bildner is a fictionalized story of thie flight.
The Kids' Wings literature guide invites group discussion, prediction, drama, problem-solving, and skill building. Teachers who want students to have an appreciation of African-American history will want make this intermediate-level picture book part of their classroom libraries.
