Yes, the Tuskegee Airmen should have been allowed to fly. They demonstrated exceptional skill and bravery, proving that African American pilots could perform at the highest levels in combat. Their contributions not only helped the U.S. military succeed during World War II but also challenged racial stereotypes and paved the way for the eventual integration of the armed forces. Denying them the opportunity to fly would have been a significant injustice, disregarding their capabilities and potential.

Why did the Tuskegee airman fight?
The US military has been intermittently integrated and segregated. Following the Civil War, some Army units were integrated until the time of World War One; President Woodrow Wilson did not believe that Negro Americans were capable of military service in any combat role. When World War II began, many African-Americans wanted to join the military and fight; since the Nazis hated blacks only slightly less than they hated Jews, this was a normal reaction. At the beginning of World War II, blacks were allowed only in "servant" roles; cooks and stewards. As a test, the "Tuskegee Airmen" were African-Americans trained to fly high-performance fighters. The "Tuskegee Airmen" were spectacularly successful. While it's true that black fighter pilots had a lower kill ratio against Germans than white pilots did, the difference is easily explained. The "Tuskegee Airmen" squadron was primarily assigned to the bomber escort role; in that role, their primary responsibility was to DEFEND THE BOMBERS, not to go shoot down Germans. Too many white pilots would break formation and engage the German fighters; doing so left the bomber formations vulnerable to attack by other German fighters. The black pilots were less aggressive (or perhaps, it would be better phrased as "less glory-seeking") than the average white pilot; they stayed with the bombers, engaging the Germans only long enough to chase the German fighters away. Bomber wings escorted by black pilots were less likely to suffer heavy losses from the Germans. Bomber squadrons were delighted with the escort, and came to request that the Tuskegee squadron be assigned to their formations. The end result of the "experiment" was that it demonstrated that there was no reason why African-Americans couldn't do any job that a Caucasian could do.
Where were American gi imprisoned by Americans in Vietnam?
US POWs (Prisoners of War) consisted primarily of US Airmen, aviators belonging to the USAF and USN air units. The bulk of these airmen had been shot down over North Vietnam during the air war (over the north). Since these airmen had been downed over the north, and since the targets were in the north, the POWs were held in the North (Vietnam)...scattered through out the nation. Any enemy POW camps in South Vietnam would not have been secure, and would have ultimately been raided by the alllies.
Who was Tuskegee Airman Peter Whittaker?
I have read what appear to be the complete combat records of the 99th, 100th, 301 st and 302nd Squadrons, and can find no mention at all of Peter Whittaker. This does not mean he wasn't a member of the Tuskegee Airmen, but simply that he did nothing to warrant naming him in the combat logs of the units. His name is listed in the Graduating Pilots list as -Whittaker, Peter H. 44-C-SE 3/12/1944 2nd Lt. 0824845 Detroit MI. - - This means he graduated as a pilot in December 1944 and would then have gone to a combat unit in early 1945. Unfortunately no further information has been found yet.
