Higher Heights is the story of Tuskegee Airman Jordan Wingate's romantic, but dangerous journey from a distinguished World War II fighter pilot to the aircraft industry's first black engineer. A pioneer of the commercial jet plane in a prop-driven world, Wingate must overcome the skepticism of relatives and friends, the intense racism of time and place (Santa Monica in the early '50s), corporate intrigue and betrayal, and romantic relationships with two beautiful women, to blaze his own trail into uncharted territory on the civil rights frontier.
