The Tuskegee Airmen are some of the most famous pilots in the world. They are famous for being the first African-American pilots to ever fight in combat. They flew in P51 Mustangs and flew missions all over Germany during World War Two.
They flew fighter missions to protect US bombers over the south eastern European theatre.
They escorted bombers without losing a single one. They completed 1500 missions, destroyed 111 enemy aircraft in the air, and 150 more on the ground. They helped us by protecting our bombers and fighting many missions for us.
once they were finally accepted for frontline action, their squadrons were given the task of escorting long range bombing runs into occupied Europe. Their claim to fame is that they never lost a bomber under their protection to an enemy aircraft. On a broader scale, they helped prove that a negro man was just as capable of doing the job as a white man. Before the formation of the Tuskagee airmen, it was widely considered by the military higher ranks that negros were not smart or brave enough to be trusted to fly aircraft.
The reason we mostly remember the elite Tuskegee airmen, is that they were fighter pilots in WWII, in North Africa, Italy, and elsewhere in Europe. They provided air support for the Allied bombers - the bomber pilots preferred the Tuskegee airmen for this task, because they were really good at shooting down attacking German airplanes.
They flew P-40 Warhawks, P-39 Airacobras, P-47 Thunderbolts, and P-51 Mustangs.
They liked to paint the tails of their fighter red, and were often referred to as the "Redtails".
Some were trained on B-25 bombers, but it unclear whether they ever deployed in bombers.
They wanted to take part in the war and fight Hitler. They also wanted to fly. They were very brave men.
