The 332nd Fighter Group, the most successful
airmen of World War II, flew more than 200 escort missions, not once
losing an aircraft. This group, part of the all-black Tuskegee Airmen,
proved
their superior
skills in the air, but were treated as second-class citizens on the ground.
They were not allowed access to the same facilities
as white airmen and had little chance for promotion upon their return. |
