Short and sweet, this small book appears well researched and goes a long way to dispel many of the myths surrounding these airmen. Too many people take hearsay and hollywood at face value. Rather than lessen the role these men played in ww2 and equal rights, it widens their scope of achievement and places it in an actual context. I would recommend to anyone interested in black history, ww2 or military aviation. ( ) no reviews | add a review
The members of the 332d Fighter Group and the 99th, 100th, 301st, and 302d Fighter Squadrons during World War II are remembered in part because they were the only African American pilots who served in combat with the Army Air Forces during the war. They are more often called the Tuskegee Airmen since they trained at Tuskegee Army Air Field. In the more than sixty years since World War II, several stories have grown up about the Tuskegee Airmen, some of them true and some of them false. This book focuses on eleven myths about the Tuskegee Airmen, throughly researched and debunked by Air Force historian Daniel Haulman, with copious historical documentation and sources to prove Haulman's research.
