Yes. They were the first combat pilots to shoot down the German jet fighter that was being introduced towards the end of the war. They also had the distinction of never loosing a bomber while escorting them to their targets. They were concidered the best at bomber escort duties. The German pilots gained a lot of respect for them from frequent airial combat.ARE YOU THAT STUPID?

The Tuskegee Airmen trained in Tuskegee, Alabama. They have their own official website. tuskegeeairmen org This record came from their official site. They served overseas and in the United States. They won the most medals of any air group.

They have their own museum now to honor the men.
