They were among the most heroic fighter pilots of World War II. The courageous and daring U.S. Red Tail squadrons destroyed 112 German planes in the air, another 150 on the ground, as well as hundreds of trains and trucks, and even a ship.
While their bravery was the stuff of legends and their devotion to their country unquestionable there was no heroes' return for them after the war, because the pilots, more than 400 of them, were black. Recruited in Tuskegee, Alabama, they were organized into segregated squadrons by the U.S. Air Force.
As part of this special program honoring the Tuskegee Airmen, we welcome former pilots and their families to speak about their experiences, and will host a screening of George Lucas' 2011 documentary about the squadron, Double Victory.
