The Tuskegee Airmen included pilots, navigators, bombardiers, maintenance and support staff, instructors, and all the personnel who kept the planes in the air.
Due to their determination and perserverance, the Tuskegee Airmen became one of the most highly respected fighter groups of World War II. The Tuskegee Airmen's achievements, together with the men and women who supported them are commemorated in this legislation."
