Be sure to watch the Tuskegee Airman Movie.   Long before the Civil Rights movement, the Tuskegee Airmen fought for equality for the Black Americans and the Brown, Red, White and Yellow Americans. First the Black Americans integrated the Armed Forces and then a whole nation and did it with competency, skill, valor, and courage in combating the enemy abroad and racism at home. Because they stood tall, African Americans and fellow Americans are all the better for it.  They did it because they were Americans too.  The United States is their country and their families live here because they are from the United States.  The Tuskegee Airmen fought for America all the way up to giving up their lives for all Americans.  Thank you very much Tuskegee Airmen.  Tuskegee Airmen Models, Plastic Model Kits, Diecast Model Airplanes, Tuskegee Airmen History and Photos.

Chronicled are the stories of the pioneering women and African American pilots who were instrumental in the foundation of flying units like the Women's Air Force Service Pilots and Tuskegee Fighters. There are also the dangerous and compelling tales of fighter Aces, former prisoners of war, and Medal of Honor recipients. The bravery, perseverance, and ingenuity of these fliers reach beyond the violent tragedy of war and inspire us all. 652 pgs., 30 illus., 6"x 9", softbound.

Long before Civil Rights, the Tuskegee Airmen fought for equality. First they integrated the Armed Forces, then a whole nation and did it with competency, skill, valor, and courage in combating the enemy abroad and racism at home. Because they stood tall, African Americans and fellow Americans are the better for it.

"My Buddy" a P-51C assigned to 1st Lt. Charles P. Bailey of the 99th FS, 332nd FG, as he keeps watch over a squadron of B-24s from the 451st BG flying over the Alps en route to Germany. The 99th FS was the original unit of "Tuskegee Airmen" -- the first all black fighter pilot squadron in the U.S. Army Air Force. Lt. Bailey flew a total of 133 missions in the MTO. Bailey received the Air Medal with four Oak Leaf Clusters and was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross on May 12, 1945.   Charles Bailey passed away in April of 2001 and is missed by all of us who knew him. Bailey scored his first victory against an FW190 over the Anzio beachhead on January 27, 1944. Lt. Bailey's "Josephine". The P-40 was named after his mother. Charles Bailey and his crew Chief V. Miller

Charles E. Francis, a native of Maryland, received a Bachelor of Arts in Education and a Master's in American History from Howard University. Inducted into the Army Air Corps, he received his basic training in Columbus, Mississippi. He was assigned to Fort Myers, Florida to help organize the newly constructed Buckingham Army Air Forces Flexible Gunnery School. In 1944, he went to Tuskegee, where he observed and understood the significance and meaning of the Tuskegee revolution. Married to Frances H. Lewis, the late Mr and Mrs Francis leave behind two children and three grandchildren: David Westbrook, April Francis, and Charles Francis III. Adolph Caso has degrees from Northeastern and Harvard University; a retired Colonel USAR, he is the author of 14 books, including the The Straw Obelisk, a post World War II novel, and We, the People--Formative Documents of America's Democracy.

 the distinct Red Tailed Mustang of this Tuskegee airman of the 99th Fighter Squadron. Lee Archer flew 169 missions and is the only confirmed ace of the Tuskegee Airmen with five aerial victories over Bf 109 fighters. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal with 18 Clusters and other awards. He served until 1970, retiring as a Lt. Colonel.

African American history.  The only all-black flying unit to serve in WWII. Established in 1941, the pilot-training program at Tuskegee, Alabama, had been designed as an "experiment," without full military support to ensure its success and with many officers predicting utter failure. Despite segregated facilities at the base, hostile reactions from the locals and other demoralizing conditions, the aviators trained at Tuskegee went on to fly hundreds of missions over North Africa and Europe.

They were known as Red Tails for the designs on their planes; they earned the nickname Red-Tail Angels with their reputation for staying with the bomber planes they escorted. The pilots of the 332nd division, the McKissacks point out, never lost a bomber, a record unmatched by any other group in the Army Air Force.
