The Tuskegee Airmen began training in June 1941 at the Tuskegee Institute. Forty-seven officers and 429 enlisted men made up the Tuskegee Airmen.
Yeah last answer was completely random. We're doing this in class and i read that there were 994 original Tuskegee airman/mechanics
Since the WW2 men and women are dying every month it is best that you contact the Tuskegee Airmen Organization and ask them what is the last count of the living Tuskegee Airmen. They keep track of all of them. The link is below. They have a phone number in Alabama.
They got over 850 medals
As far as I know and have researched, the Tuskegee Airmen Only lost 25 Bombers in 200 missions. That's pretty good odds if you ask me.

As of my last knowledge update in October 2021, specific details about individual Tuskegee Airmen currently living in Los Angeles, CA, are not widely publicized due to privacy concerns and the age of many former airmen. However, the Tuskegee Airmen were a group of African American pilots and support personnel who fought in World War II, and some may still reside in the area. For the most current information, local veteran organizations or community groups focused on preserving their legacy may have updates on living members.

Racism played a huge role as the Tuskegee Airmen were America's first fighter pilots and Officers. Many in the US Army were very opposed to this.
Answer The Tuskegee airmen were trained at Tuskegee and formed into the 99th Pursuit Squadron. Later their group included 33rd , 324th, and 79th Fighter Groups and eventually the 332 Fighter Group that was stationed in Italy. They escorted bombers from the 15th Air Force on missions to Germany, Austria and Hungary. There were no US airmen stationed in Hungary.
