The Tuskegee Airmen were unique because  they were the first African American combat squad.

The Tuskegee Airmen is the popular name given to a group of African-American aviators from the United States who trained at the Tuskegee Institute of Alabama and distinguished themselves during World War II in the 332nd combat group of the Army Air Corps. Some 445 aviators of this group participated in battles in North Africa and Europe and 80 of them lost their lives in combat or accidents. Due to the bright red color of the tails of their planes, they were also known as Red Tails.
