Thank goodness: after an outpouring of public dissent, Lackland reversed its terrible decision and will thankfully be teaching recruits about the Tuskegee airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots again. A reminder that we must always push back: www.expressnews.com/news/article...
Air Force says new recruits will again learn about Tuskegee Airmen
The head of the service's San Antonio-based training command said a video about the pioneering Black aviators would remain in the basic training curriculum.

There's a wonderful Tuskegee Airman monument at Coleman A. Young International Airport in Detroit. Former mayor Coleman Young was one of the airmen. Photo: Ken Coleman

Tuskegee Airmen flew more than 15,000 sorties over North Africa and Europe during World War II and destroyed more than 250 enemy aircraft on the ground, 150 in the air. The squadron never lost a bomber to enemy aircraft during their escort missions. No other escort unit could claim such a record.
