Answer:The Tuskegee Airmen were the first Black military aviators in the U.S. Army Air Corps (AAC), a precursor of the U.S. Air Force. Trained at the Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama, they flew more than 15,000 individual sorties in Europe and North Africa during World War II. Their impressive performance earned them more than 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses, and helped encourage the eventual integration of the U.S. armed forces.

During the 1920s and ‘30s, the exploits of record-setting pilots like Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart had captivated the nation, and thousands of young men and women clamored to follow in their footsteps.
But young African Americans who aspired to become pilots met with significant obstacles, starting with the widespread (racist) belief that Black people could not learn to fly or operate sophisticated aircraft.

Explanation:
To combat the threat of tropical diseases such as malaria and yellow fever, the United States decided to use new measures to eradicate the disease before the construction of the Panama Canal. Under the leadership of Colonel William Crawford Gorgas, many changes were made. When it was discovered that mosquitoes were the source of the disease, Gorgas who was appointed as the head of hospital and sanitation, he made sure that containers with stagnant water were removed because mosquitoes lay their eggs there. He also built domestic water systems to eliminate the need to collect rain water. Prophylactic Quinine was supplied to the people in the area and fumigation and oiling of streams were launched. Those who were sick were quarantined and workers would sleep in screened structures so that mosquitoes would not be able to bite them. These programs resulted in the successful elimination of tropical diseases in the area and the health of workers improved.
