Tuskegee Airmen-WWII

During the Second World War, a special project is begun by the US Army Air Corps to integrate African American pilots into the Fighter Pilot Program. Known as the "Tuskegee Airman".

The movie shows that the Aircraft & Aviation which was dealt with the African American trainees to be the Pilot. The movie is interesting. I can get to know the Black representative as Civil Rights in the land of freedom; The United States which were all acception to be the citizenship.It's proved that African Americans could fly and maintain sophisticated combat aircraft.

Moreover, the movie inserts of History in that period of WWII. Uniformity , Love , Prejudice and Oppression.

TUSKEGEE AIRMEN FACTS;


Pilots of a U.S. Army Air Forces fighter squadron, credited with shooting down 8 of the 28 German planes destroyed in dog-fights over the new Allied beachheads south of Rome, on Jan. 27, talk over the day's exploits at a U.S. base in the Mediterranean theater. Negro members of this squadron, veterans of the North African and Sicilian campaigns, were formerly classmates at a university in the southern U.S." February 1944.

So, I've made on a little research about Tuskegee Airmen as the following;

1.The Tuskegee Airmen were dedicated, determined young men who volunteered to become America's first Black military airmen.

2.The tenacious bomber escort cover provided by the 332nd "Red Tail" fighters often discouraged enemy fighter pilots from attacking bombers escorted by the 332nd Fighter Group.

3.From 1940-1946, some 1,000 Black pilots were trained at Tuskegee.

4.The Airmen’s success during World War II but not losing a single bomber to enemy fire in more than 200 combat missions is a record unmatched by any other fighter group.

5.The U.S. Congress authorized $29 million in 1998 to develop the Tuskegee Airmen Naitonal Historic Site, with the University, Tuskegee Airmen Inc. and the National Park Service serving as partners in its development. To date, a mere $3.6 million has been appropriated for the Site’s implementation

Good one Movie, For person whom they loved an Aircraft ,their Nation ans the significant of UNITY.
