Mn/DOT Office of Aeronautics donates children’s book titled “Don Hinz and the Red Tail Project”

This book, geared to school children grades 3-5 details the compelling story and passionate drive that led Don Hinz to develop and ultimately give his life to the Red Tail Project. “America’s Flying Tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen.”

Don’s mission was to present the living legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen to the world. His vision was to have their story in every classroom in America, The Red Tail Project is a result of Don’s vision to restore an inspirational symbol representing the contributions of African Americans during World War, and preserve this history through an aviation based program. Because of Don’s and many volunteers’ dedication to the Red Tail Project, the P51C Mustang “Tuskegee Airmen” will be rebuilt to fly again and a traveling educational program will be implemented.

A $5.00 donation is requested to cover shipping and handling. Additional donations will go towards the restoration of the ‘Tuskegee Airmen’ P51C aircraft and the Red Tail Project educational program”
