Devotion by Adam Makos

Devotion tells the inspirational story of the U.S. Navy’s most famous aviator duo, Lieutenant Tom Hudner and Ensign Jesse Brown, and the Marines they fought to defend. A white New Englander from the country club scene, Tom passed up Harvard to fly fighters for his country. Jesse became the Navy’s first black carrier pilot, an African American sharecropper's son from Mississippi, defending a nation that wouldn’t even serve him in a bar.While much of America remained divided by segregation, Jesse and Tom joined forces as wingmen in Fighter Squadron 32. Adam Makos takes us into the cockpit as these bold young aviators cut their teeth at the world’s most dangerous job—landing on the deck of an aircraft carrier—a line of work that Jesse’s young wife, Daisy, struggles to accept.
