Dive into history with us as we revisit the remarkable story of the Tuskegee Airmen. Prior to World War II, African Americans were barred from serving in the Army Air Corps, the precursor to today's Air Force. Under mounting public pressure, the U.S. government began removing some restrictions against Black aviators. Starting with civilian training programs in 1939, and later in 1941, by allowing Black pilots into segregated units within the Army Air Corps, the Tuskegee Airmen emerged. They trained at a new air base in Tuskegee, Alabama. The 99th Fighter Squadron and the 332nd Fighter Group saw African Americans actively contribute to the war effort, serving in the Mediterranean theater, with operations launched from bases in North Africa and Italy against German forces. Additionally, the 477th Bombardment Group was established, composed of African American B-25 Mitchell crews, although they did not engage in combat. Thus, the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen was born.
