The Tuskegee Airmen were the first Black aviators to serve in the United States Armed Forces.
When they trained and flew during World War II, the military was segregated - and segregation was the law here in the South.
Dr. Daniel Haulman is a military historian who retired after several decades as the head of the organizational histories branch at the United States Air Force Historical Research Agency.
He has written several books on the Tuskegee Airmen - including “Eleven Myths About the Tuskegee Airmen,” from NewSouth Books by the University of Georgia Press.
