- Tuskegee Airmen: Dogfighting with the Luftwaffe and Jim Crow - Samuel De Korte
Tuskegee Airmen: Dogfighting with the Luftwaffe and Jim Crow
Tuskegee Airmen: Dogfighting with the Luftwaffe and Jim Crow
The history of 332nd Fighter Group, the only segregated Fighter Group that served in combat during the Second World War.
During the Second World War, the Tuskegee Airmen had not one but two enemies to overcome: the German Luftwaffe and Jim Crow. In this book, the inspiring history of these men is recounted detailing the struggles the men faced at home and abroad.
The Tuskegee Airmen were black American pilots who served in the Army Air Corps during the Second World War. However, before earning their wings, these men and women needed to prove themselves to their white countrymen. After all, the racism prevalent at the time meant that black Americans were deemed unsuitable for the demands of modern war.
After completing their training and conducting their first combat missions, the real enemy was waiting for them: the Luftwaffe. As a result of their role escorting the bombers, as well as their bright red tails, the Tuskegee Airmen of 332nd Fighter Group earned the nickname the 'Red Tails'. The units served with distinction in several fierce engagements, such as the 99th Fighter Squadron, who fought in the skies over Anzio on 27 and 28 January 1944, and the 332nd Fighter Group, who earned a Distinguished Unit Citation for its mission to Berlin on 24 March 1945.
"... de Korte's narrative includes actual pilot battle reports in unvarnished and vivid detail. Particularly revealing were the frequent number of incidents where pilots, in both combat and training, had either to bail out or crash-land because of engine failure and/or mechanical issues." -The Journal of the Air Force Historical Foundation
