fighter escorts NOVANET

Yes they did, it is an utter and total BS myth that they did not lose a single bomber, there loses were among the lowest of any fighter squadrons. But it is debatable if it was more skill or the equipment i.e P51 Mustang

Because they trained originally at Tuskegee,moton field

they were African Americans who were pilots

The Tuskegee Airmen were called "Red Tailed Angels" because they had red paint on their planes' tail and wings and since they were bomber escorts the ground troops called them "angels". Also they did NOT fly the bombers

(the B-24j Liberator or the B-17) they flew the P-51 Mustang.

Black men were depicted as having a lower IQ and overall control or less developed. To become a pilot you need to pass high standarts. This change that myth about the black race. Without the Tuskeegee airmen, I dont think we have even concidered Obama for president.

The Tuskegee Airmen have their own official website. It is called the tuskegeeairman org and it has a list of all the men who were in this group. I did not see individual nicknames but you can look up each airmen on their site. They were called the Tuskegee Airmen because they trained at the airbase in Tuskegee, Alabama. The organization's site also lists their squadron and where they flew.

Yes. Check his bios, all of the press coverage throughout his life and after his passing, etc. It is a well-documented fact. I am his granddaughter so I happen to be speaking form direct knowledge. But if you don't believe me, go searching!

because being black they were segregated

Around 58 Tuskegee Airman were still alive as of December 2010. You can ask the Tuskegee Airmen association for the latest count. See link below.

You can have SrA on until your ten year mark in the Air Force, if you are not able to make SSgt you will reach your tenure and be forced out of the military

No, that was the idea. On 6 August 1945, a number of eyes in the Japanese city of Hiroshima turned skyward at the drone of a US B-29 bomber flying across the cloudless sky, accompanied by two other aircraft. Their arrival was not a surprise; the early warning radar net had detected the incoming planes and an air-raid alert had been issued for the city. But soon the Japanese military realized that only three planes were incoming, and the alert was lifted. The anti-aircraft guns sat silent, and the fighter planes lingered in their hangars. A mere three planes were considered incapable of posing a significant threat, so it was presumed that these craft were weather planes.

they trained in Tuskegee University because it is in Tuskegee, Alabama. Also since they still had to face segregation, Tuskegee University only had Black, African-Americans there to train them. i believe maybe a few white people that were against segregation helped along to because in the movie "Red Tails" some whites helped train them.
