The Tuskegee Airmen were the first black military aviators in the U.S. Army Air Corps (AAC), a precursor of the U.S. Air Force. Trained at the Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama, they flew more than 15,000 individual sorties in Europe and North Africa during World War II. Their impressive performance earned them more than 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses, and helped encourage the eventual integration of the U.S. armed forces. Although the majority of information concerning this group can be found at the U.S. Air Force Archives (Montgomery) and the Airmen Museum (Tuskegee), we do have many items that are beneficial for researchers.
