The Tuskegee Airmen carried an extra burden into battle. They felt that they had to prove that African Americans could fly warplanes successfully against a determined and powerful enemy.

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.
