Between 1941 and 1949, approximately 1,000 African American aviators were trained through the U.S. Army Air Forces, primarily at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, which led to the formation of the Tuskegee Airmen. This group became the first African American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces. Their training and subsequent service played a crucial role in challenging racial segregation in the military and contributed to the eventual desegregation of the armed forces.
