The Tuskegee Airmen were the first all-black air squadron in the US during WWII. Despite facing racial discrimination, they proved their capabilities and contributed significantly to the war effort. Their success helped challenge racial stereotypes and further civil rights for African Americans. The airmen were trained at the Tuskegee Army Airfield and deployed in North Africa and Italy, where they earned the nickname 'Red Tails' for their distinctive aircraft. They completed over 15,000 missions with a low crew loss record, and many were awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.
