The Tuskeegee Airmen was put into place during World War 2. It was a troop of African-American fighter pilots. Whom were trained in Tuskeegee Alabama. It was put into place becasue the Army Air Corps needed more people and African-Americans could only be cooks and jobs of that nature so it gave them an opportunity for advancement. It also gave psychologist another research project. They researched the I.Q. levels of the pilots.
There was alot of grief over the African-American advancement in the Army. Alot of people douted that they could even fly a airplane. Alot of there white counterparts were racist to them and never gave them a chance to belief in what they have accomplished. But in the later parts of the war after accpetence was made they were requested by bombers to be escourts, becuase they nerver lost a single bomber to a German fighter jet. White pilots started to see what they were capable of and started respecting them for it.
I think by the end of the war they proved alot. That no matter what ethnic group you are it doesn’t mean you can’t fly an airplane or fight in a war. The Tuskegee Airmen proved that, in that they never lost one single bomber to a dogfight. I think they left behind a rich African-American history or tradition in flying. They also help desegregate the armed forces for African-Americans to come and go. After the war was over there was no doubt in anybodies mind that the Tuskegee Airmen help win the aireal war battle.
