The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American military aviators in the U.S. Army Air Corps (later Air Force) during World War II. They faced significant racial discrimination while training at Tuskegee Army Airfield in Alabama and overseas, but they became renowned for their combat record and contributed to the eventual desegregation of the U.S. military. They flew over 15,000 sorties in combat, primarily as bomber escorts, and earned a distinguished reputation for their skill and bravery. The group was awarded three Distinguished Unit Citations.
