Description

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] African-American flyers fought two battles in World War II: one against a foreign enemy and another against a domestic enemy--racial prejudice. The latter highlighted a bitter irony about the United States' role in what some cynically called the "Good War." Namely, a nation fighting for the cause of democracy against totalitarian forces, while its own armed forces were racially segregated with large numbers in their ranks and treated as inferiors. This unfortunate situation reflected much of the nation's society. The Tuskegee Airmen ultimately triumphed against both enemies. This victory paralleled the story of the equally gallant and courageous Japanese-American U. S. Army infantry 442d Combat Team of World War II. (1)
