Where were the Tuskegee Airmen found?
On March 19, 1941, the 99th Pursuit Squadron ("pursuit" being the pre-World War II term for "fighter") was activated at Chanute Field in Rantoul, Illinois. Over 250 enlisted men were trained at Chanute in aircraft ground support trades. This small number of enlisted men became the core of other black squadrons forming at Tuskegee and Maxwell Fields in Alabama. In June 1941, the Tuskegee program began officially with the formation of the 99th Fighter Squadron at the Tuskegee Institute. The unit consisted of an entire service arm, including ground crew. After basic training at Moton Field, they were moved to the nearby Tuskegee Army Air Field about 16 km (10 mi) to the west for conversion training onto operational types. The airmen were placed under the command of Captain Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., then one of the few black graduates of West Point. Source: Wikipedia

The Tuskegee AirmenExcept they were not the "332nd Fighter Corps" but the "332nd Fighter Group".They were also known very often as "The red tailed Angels."

Why were the Tuskegee Airmen important during World War 2?
As far as the overall outcome of WWII itself goes the effect of the Tuskegee Airmen was in my opinion minimal. None of the axis powers, combined or individually, had the resources or the industrial might to carry on a protracted two front war, which is basically what the axis was facing and had they war in the Pacific continued the Russians would most likely have gotten involved on that front in greater depth. What The Tuskegee Airmen, along with many of the other African American officers from all the military branches of WWII did in my opinion was pave the way for the changes in American society that culminated in the civil rights gains of the 60s. The combat record of the Tuskegee Airmen while exemplary and even more so considering the circumstances of the day, and certainly deserving of the utmost respect and commendation , is not as important as [URL=http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/acsc/97-0429.pdf]The Freeman Field Mutiny [/URL] and the ensuing changes in U.S. military policy that followed... whether directly or indirectly a result of the "mutiny" itself.
