On April 12, 1945, the United States Army Air Force arrested 101 of its African American officers. They were charged with disobeying a direct order from a superior officer—a charge that could carry the death penalty upon conviction. They were accused of refusing to sign an order that would have placed them in segregated housing and recreational facilities. Their plight was virtually ignored by the press at the time, and books written about the subject did not detail the struggle these aviators underwent to win recognition of their civil rights.

Big fan of the Suicide Squad series just recently got into it like last year when the new 52 was going on. We have tried both family members and pets as running companions. Besides the awesomeness of getting Jonah Hex, Scalphunter, Bat Lash and Super-Chief this story also has the best ending of any of the stories. As a result, there is very little attention paid to focusing study on board review.
