Robnor
Publishing is based in Washington, D.C.
We are partially owned by Tuskegee Airmen and specialize in memoirs and
biographies by and about historic American figures.
We are selling two books that were written in conjunction with
Tuskegee Airmen - Curtis Christopher Robinson and Charles Flowers. The first book is titled – A Pilot’s Journey,
the second book is titled Training the Best.
A Pilot's Journey - Memoirs
of a Tuskegee Airman is a story about Curtis Christopher Robinson, a former
fighter pilot with the 99th Fighter Squadron and an award winning,
Washington, D.C. pharmacist. It is also a
journey into 250 years of Robinson’s family’s history.
He is the surviving member of a family of
siblings born between 1910 and
1919 that produced three military officers during World
War II. We have not found another African-American family in the nation
with three army officers during that era. Mr.
Robinson's family
story is a personal, informative and insightful view into the origins an
evolution of an “original African-American
middle class family,” one
actually established by former slaves – his grandparents – an during their lifetime.
It covers the period between 1760 through 2007.
Training the Best - Charles
Herbert Flowers, Jr. D.P.S. is a story about a man who was the
thirteenth cadet to graduate from the pilot training program at Tuskegee, and he
graduated number one in his class. His skills and accomplishments were so
impressive that he was assigned to be a full time flight instructor upon
completing the program. Mr. Flowers has the distinction of being the first
student government association president at North Carolina Central University;
Durham, North Carolina and today he enjoys the honor of having a school, Charles
Herbert Flowers High School - in Glenarden, Maryland - named after him.
During the 1940s he performed in air shows in the south after his career as a
flight instructor, and later, was a partner in a flight instruction school in
North Carolina,. Eventually, Charles Flowers, Jr. spent a long and
successful career at Goddard Space Center in Greenbelt,
Maryland.
