In 1932, James Banning, along with his co-pilot Thomas Allen, make history by becoming the first African Americans to fly across the United States, relying on the generosity of people they meet in the towns along the way who help keep their "flying jalopy" going.
the flying hobos must come to my house. I want to sighn there plane**** awsome
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of this piece of history before this book. It was interesting and well-written. I loved the illustrations as well.****
ReplyDeletethe illistrations in this book were okay.I liked the line "hallelujah" then the other hobo says "hallelujah right back at you".
ReplyDeleteThe "Flying Hoboes" have an interesting name! This book had you feeling the excitment! ***
ReplyDeleteThis book really gave me confadence in what I do. It's my favorite BlueBonnet book.
ReplyDeletethis aws a great book i can not believe they thought that they were not going to make it.
ReplyDeleteAlthough this book was sort of short, I thought that it taught a lesson. The "Flying Hobos" didn't even make sense. Were they even hobos? Anyways, that aircraft looked pretty treacherous. I'm glad they survived the entire flight. That looked even more dangerous than Amelia Earhart's Flight (if this was non-fiction). Even so, this is a pretty decent book. Good job, Phil Bildner!
ReplyDeleteI think the Flying Hobos had a good way to get money. I loved their positive attitudes and how they never gave up. They did not stop until they reached their goal. ***
ReplyDeleteI think its good because there the first people to fly cost to cost***
