From St Vith to Victory 218 Gold Coast Squadron and the Campaign Against Nazi Germany The book "From St Vith to Victory 218 Gold Coast Squadron and the Campaign Against Nazi Germany" tells the story of one of the most significant events in world history - the struggle against Nazi Germany during World War II. The book focuses on the role of the 218th Gold Coast Squadron, which was formed by African-American pilots who fought against racism and discrimination while serving their country. The author explores how this group of brave men overcame incredible obstacles to become one of the most successful squadrons in the war, despite being marginalized and excluded from mainstream society. The book begins with an introduction to the 218th Gold Coast Squadron, established in 1943 at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, where African-American pilots were trained to fly P-51 Mustang fighter planes. These men were not only fighting for their country but also for their right to be treated with dignity and respect. They faced discrimination and prejudice within their own military ranks, as well as from society at large. Despite these challenges, they persevered and became one of the most effective squadrons in the war, earning the nickname "The Flying Gentlemen.
