Tuskegee Airmen

Because of racial discrimination, blacks were never allowed on any lead or combat roles in the army. However, many blacks were willing to fight for the U.S. during the WWII. In the beginning, U.S. still had doubts about letting blacks pilot planes. However, in 1942, there were 5 out standing Black pilots who won the silver wings of Army Air Forces polots. Because their outstanding performance the Tuskegee Airmen was formed. It was U.S.’s first all Black air force.

Tuskegee Airmen were well trained and educated team. It managed to fought in 200 battles without losing any bombers. They fought against Germany in Italy, Destroyed over 1,000 German aircrafts. They received hundreds of air medals.

The Tuskegee Airmen opened the gate way for Blacks into the combat field of army. It proved their ability to be just as strong as any one else. It was also one step toward racial equality.

  10. This is a really great post!
    I really enjoyed reading this, because I had no clue about any of it! Luckily, your post got me up to speed on all I need to know!
    Next time, I would add an example of another instance where African-Americans were successful in combat for the U.S. Army, to draw an interesting parallel.
    Good job again! And I am very glad the 5 pilots won the silver wings of Army Air Force pilots!
