Best Answer

The Tuskegee Airmen

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.

During World War 2, the 332nd Fighter Group was also known as the Tuskegee Airmen. The title Tuskegee Airmen refers to all who trained in the groundbreaking Army Air Forces African-American pilot training program at Moton Field and Tuskegee Army Airfield, Alabama between 1941 and 1945. It included the pilots, navigators, bombardiers, maintenance and support staff, instructors and all the personnel who kept the planes in the air.
