Tuskegee Airmen

The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military aviators in the United States armed forces, playing a crucial role in World War II. Despite their expertise and the significant contribution they made by shooting down formidable German planes, they faced severe discrimination under Jim Crow laws and were initially not allowed on the squad.
