They were credited with shooting down more than 100 enemy aircraft and never losing an American bomber under escort to enemy fighters.That is their unique claim, and a proud one. After all, protecting the bombers and their crews was the reason they were there. What good would it have done to have shot down one more enemy plane - or five of them - at the cost of an American bomber??

While Hollywood can mix up and twist anything in history still some good movies to show kids during Black History Month are The Tuskegee Airmen and Glory.
The history of blacks in American History is scattered and piecemeal. Any war that the US fought in yields many stories of the sacrifice of black Americans.
Almost lost to history is the service of the black Regiment from New York, NY that served with the French during the Great War.
No disrespect meant to MLK but there is more to African American history in the US than him.

I met one of these pilots years ago and it is good to read that they are still being of service to this country.

Those guys are the greatest -- imagine all the obstacles they had to overcome. It is bad enough fighting a foreign enemy -- imagine if your own country is basically against you in addition to that.

God bless them, both for their earlier service to this nation as well as their bravery in supporting the troops now.

None tougher.
None cooler.
None more effective.
Read about this guy here. His name is Lt. Weathers, and he downed two German aircraft within a few minutes of each other, then got chewed out for "going after enemy aircraft for personal glory!".
