{"product_id":"the-flight-of-jesse-leroy-theodore-taylor-9781591148524","title":"The Flight of Jesse Leroy Brown","description":"Jesse Leroy Brown was born in 1926 to sharecroppers in the segregated South. An outstanding student and top athlete, he set his sights on becoming a Navy pilot despite the resistance of his family and the rampant Jim Crow laws. Brown went on to become the first black man to fly a Navy fighter and make a carrier landing. Based on archival documents and interviews with those who knew Brown, this is both a stirring story of a man breaking historic racial barriers and a thrilling tale of naval carrier aviation and combat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theodore Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1591148529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781591148524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e US Naval Institute Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.88h x 5.99w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2007 pg. 148","brand":"Theodore Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985238130943,"sku":"9781591148524","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_50a7cfaa-0589-42c4-a7f4-7c9c1867e2ca.jpg?v=1683276378","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-flight-of-jesse-leroy-theodore-taylor-9781591148524","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
