There was only one American black pilot in WWI. His name was Eugene Jacques Bullard. His nickname was 'Black Swallow of Death'. There are books on him: The Black Swallow of Death: The Incredible Story of Eugene Jacques Bullard, The World's First Black Combat Aviator by P.J. Carisella and James W. Ryan and another one called Eugene Bullard: Black Expatriate in Jazz-Age Paris written by Craig Lloyd.

What was the significance of the Mariana Turkey Shoot during World War 2?

It was the single largest air battle of the war between the Japanese and the American air services. It also decimated the last of the veteran pilots of the Japanese air service. After that they didn't have any sizeable number of veteran pilots to train the new pilots. After the Mariana Turkey shoot the Kamakazi became prevalent as it required very little training.


Did any black men serve on any US bomber crews during world war 2?

Yes, some Black men served on U.S. bomber crews during World War II, though their opportunities were limited due to segregation and discriminatory policies at the time. The Tuskegee Airmen, an iconic group of African American pilots and support personnel, flew missions in bombers and fighter planes, significantly contributing to the war effort. While most bomber crews were predominantly white, the achievements of Black servicemen helped pave the way for future integration in the military.

What did a pilot do in World War 2?

First of all there was no branch called the Air Force during World War 2 in any of the Allied Forces. They were either Army Air Force, Marine Air Force and Navy Air Forces and the Brits added the word Royal to their forces. If you added up all the "air forces" of Russia, The US, The UK and other nations you would have a total that could surpass several hundred thousand. The Germans and Italians had aviators too. If you add them then you definitely surpass many hundreds of thousand of pilots flying during World War 2.
