That is *quite* a story. Thanks for posting.
One of the Tuskegee airmen lived just down the road from me. Oh, the stories he could tell - many of which weren't all that uplifting. After WW2 he returned to the States. He's in uniform. Another passenger on the DC-3 says "Boy, carry my bags".
Wow.

When Red Tails was released a few years back, they held a special screening here in Chicago and several surviving members were in attendance. We had a chance to speak with a few of them after the movie and thank them for their service.

I bought the same one on DVD, so far I guess I've watched it 4 or 5 times! I also have another called, "The Tuskegee Airmen". Like both of them.
I lost count of how many times I've watched it.
Today, I was working on a BT-13 that was assigned to Tuskegee Field in World War II. I know that both Charles McGee and Benjamin Davis had in their logbooks that they had flown the plane -- wonder how many others had as well. It was definitely with quite a bit of awe as I worked on the plane knowing it's history.

What an amazing honor! :thumbsup:
Traveling through Omaha airport on Friday I took a little time to take in the memorial they had to the Tuskegee Airmen.
I had noticed it many times before but had never taken the time to study all the photos and articles on display. A great memorial to that group of Airmen.
