5.0 out of 5 stars "OUTSTANDING STORY, JUST OUSTANDING, October 30, 1999
I read the first book, "BUFFALO SOLIDER" by TOM Willard. It is a shame this author does not get better credit for his work. The book stores fail to given him top billing. I guess this book is NOT YET ready for main stream AMERICA. I suggest people take a chance at reading this book. You will not regret it. All of them are great.The Best reading of fiction on this subject in a long time. MR. Willard if you read these reviews, I suggest you get these books into film. People, These Books Are Good. " DON'T PASS THIS ONE BY IN YOUR BOOKSTORES"

5.0 out of 5 stars One man's story of becoming a Tuskeegee Airman, March 9, 1999
By A Customer
The Black Sabre Chronicles follows the lives of four generations of a military African-American family. Wings of Honor, third in the chronicle, is the story of Samuel Sharpe, grandson of one of the original Buffalo Soldiers, and soon to be a Tuskegee Airman. When World War II breaks out, Samuel Sharpe knows he has to fight for his country. His grandfather and father did it, and he wasn't about to break tradition. Little did he realize the actual horrors that war would bring. After being accepted at Tuskegee and receiving his wings, Samuel experiences the very real horror of war. His squadron is sent to North Africa and Europe to escort the bombers during their raids over Europe. During one of these escorts, Samuel's plane is shot down. Finding himself behind the enemy lines, Samuel puts his Arizona tracking and sharpshooting skills to good use and carries on the proud name of Sharpe in the military.

Tom Willard has done an outstanding job of presenting the story of the Tuskegee Airmen in a fictitious setting. He keeps the historical facts straight while keeping the reader totally absorbed in the thrilling story of Samuel Sharpe. For all those young adults who think history is dry and dull, I heartily recommend Black Sabre Chronicles for a history lesson at its finest.
