Except they were not the "332nd Fighter Corps" but the "332nd Fighter Group".



They were also known very often as "The red tailed Angels." Because the Mustangs they flew when they acted as fighter escorts had red tails.


Throughout their careers as Fighter escorts the 332nd never lost a single bomber, and their first fighter escort mission was over Berlin.

The Tuskegee Airmen have their own official website. It is called the tuskegeeairman org and it has a list of all the men who were in this group. I did not see individual nicknames but you can look up each airmen on their site. They were called the Tuskegee Airmen because they trained at the airbase in Tuskegee, Alabama. The organization's site also lists their squadron and where they flew.
