The Tuskegee Airmen is a historical drama about the first Africa-American pilots in the US military. In 1942, a group of college graduates are selected for training as pilots in Army Air Corps at the Tuskegee training base. In what is billed by everyone as an "experiment", the men face not only the institutionalized prejudice of their white officers but that generally found in the US South at the time. There are clearly those who would like to see this fail, including the Major in charge of training and a US Senator. Even when they distinguish themselves in North Africa, there is an attempt to disband them. In the end, they served their country with distinction and bravery, flying missions in Europe include providing bomber escort for the bombing of Berlin. Based on a true story.
Overview In spite of adversity and limited opportunities, African Americans have played a significant role in US military history over the past 300 years. They were denied military leadership roles and skilled training because many believed they lacked qualifications for combat duty. Before 1940, African Americans were barred from flying for the US military. Civil rights organizations and the black press exerted pressure that resulted in the formation of an all African-American pursuit squadron based in Tuskegee, Alabama, in 1941. They became known as the Tuskegee Airmen. "Tuskegee Airmen" refers to all who were involved in the so-called "Tuskegee Experiment," the Army Air Corps program to train African Americans to fly and maintain combat aircraft. The Tuskegee Airmen included pilots, navigators, bombardiers, maintenance and support staff, instructors, and all the personnel who kept the planes in the air. The military selected Tuskegee Institute to train pilots because of its commitment to aeronautical training. Tuskegee had the facilities, and engineering and technical instructors, as well as a climate for year round flying. The first Civilian Pilot Training Program students completed their instruction in May 1940. The Tuskegee program was then expanded and became the center for African-American aviation during World War II. The Tuskegee Airmen overcame segregation and prejudice to become one of the most highly respected fighter groups of World War II. They proved <b>...</b>
Two decades before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I have a dream" speech, a group of African American pilots were helping to shape history. Now the heroic efforts of the Tuskegee Airmen has come to the big screen in the movie "Red Tails."
This is why the story of the Tuskegee Airmen is so important; to allow future generations to not see the reality of racism, but how we as a people continued to triumph over it. I have had the honor to speak with Jerry Hodges, the president of the Tuskegee Airman Scholarship Foundation. I asked this 86-year-old youngster how close was the film to the real story. "It's not too far from being realistic," he replied. He was an original Tuskegee Airman--a Red Tail--who flew PT-17 and PT-13 planes and who learned to fly B-25 bombers at Tuskegee. . At that point they transferred Hodges to the Tuskegee Army Air Base and taught him how to fly the B-25. He was assigned to the 617th Bomber Squadron and the 477th Bomber Group. He proudly attended the Red Tail primier movie with three other Tuskegee Airman. He personally witnessed the triumphs that I speak of.

Biddeford, Maine (B19) is where we keep ther museum's Piper during the summer while our warbirds are at Wiscasset (KIWI). One day at Biddeford I met James Shepard, an original Tuskegee Airmen Crew Chief living in Maine!. He told me so many stories about the Red Tail Squadron while stationed in Italy during WWII. I found out it had been 67 years since Jim had flown in one of his planes. So I called my friends Doug Rozendaal and Alan Miller, who were with the CAF's Red Tail at the AOPA Summit in Connecticut. I told them the story about meeting Jim and if they would be interested in making a fuel stop at Biddeford's 3000 foot runway. They were all in. So we made the plans and called the local media. We told Jim we were having a cookout. When the Red Tail entered the pattern he knew that V-12 sound. Then we told him the plane was there for him and would he like to take a ride. He was up and on the wing soon after and away he went with Alan Miller. They landed in Portland (KPWM) and we picked Jim up in the Piper. Flying back to Biddeford down the Maine coast Alan pulled the Red Tail up in formation and Jim could see his plane flying beside us. Then Alan did a slow roll up into the sky and the Red Tail was off to Mississippi. What a great day for a great man! We thank you for your service Jim, and for the inspiration you and your squadron have given to us all. Here is our video of this wonderful day. What a goose bump job this is. Red Tails forever!

On July 19, 1941, the US Army Air Corps began training black pilots. The 926 members of the famed Tuskegee Airmen (comprised initially of the 99th Pursuit Squadron and later the 332nd Fighter Group) were trained for combat in World War II at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Known for their red-tailed P-51 Mustang fighters, the Tuskegee Airmen never lost an escorted plane to the enemy during the course of World War II, during which they carried out hundreds of escort missions. www.army.mil Tuskegee Airmen From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia en.wikipedia.org

July 14, 2011 - Allen Public Library Civic Auditorium calvinspann.com Tuskegee Airman Lt. Calvin Spann discusses the rigorous training at the Tuskegee University Moton Airfield, aerial campaigns during World War II that included traversing the treacherous Alps, and encountering the then-newly-invented German weapon—the jet aircraft. Question and answer period follows lecture. In 1943, Calvin J. Spann left Rutherford High School to go into the Army Air Corps to start aviation cadet training. Calvin's high school graduation was the next month. His sister Carolyn was there to accept his diploma. Mr. Spann's orders sent him to Kessler Field, Mississippi; when he arrived he was informed that the Army Air Corps did not train Black cadets. A week later, he was sent to Tuskegee, Alabama for the Cadet training. Calvin Spann received his wings at Tuskegee, graduating in Class 44G. His next station of duty was Walterboro, South Carolina. There he trained in the P-47 (Thunderbolt) for combat and overseas duty. At the completion of training Lieutenant Spann was sent to Italy as a replacement combat pilot and given an instruction manual to fly the P51 Mustang. He became a member of the 100th Fighter Squadron, a part of the 332nd Fighter Group under the command of Col. Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. Lt. Spann flew 26 combat missions before the end of the war in Europe and terminated his tour of duty in Italy. After returning to the United States, he was stationed at Lockbourne Army Air Base <b>...</b>

To own your own copy of this program go to: www.paveteransmuseum.org "On Freedoms Wings, Bound for Glory" is the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, a WWII Army Air Corps experimental program to train and commission African-American aviators during a time when all US Armed Forces were racially segregated. So-called because their flight school was located at a small base in Tuskegee, Alabama, the Tuskegee Airmen would encounter numerous obstacles as they broke Military color barriers, debunking long-time, deeply held beliefs that Blacks could not be skilled combat fighter pilots. This small band of daring pilots would eventually make US Military Aviation history, never losing an American bomber they were assigned to protect against German fighters in 200 missions. During the closing months of WWII in Europe, the distinctive Red Tail Mustangs flown by the Tuskegee Airmen became legendary, a welcome sight for beleaguered American bomber crews who were being shot down at an alarming rate. The one-hour film opens current day, in Balad, Iraq, where the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing is headquartered, and closes with the 2007 presentation of the Congressional Gold Medal by President George Bush.

Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen were equally adept at stripped-down basic rock & roll, R&B, and gritty country-rock. Commander Cody's country-rock rocked harder than the Eagles or Poco -- essentially, the group was a bar band. Much like English pub rock bands like Brinsley Schwarz and Ducks Deluxe, Commander Cody resisted the overblown and bombastic trends of early-'70s rock, preferring a basic, no-frills approach. Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen never had the impact of the British pub rockers, yet their straightforward energy gave their records a distinguishing drive; they could play country, Western swing, rockabilly, and R&B, and it all sounded convincing. The group originally formed in 1967 in Ann Arbor, MI; Commander Cody (born George Frayne IV; piano), John Tichy (lead guitar), Steve Schwartz (guitar), Don Davis (bass), Don Bolton (aka the West Virginia Creeper; pedal steel guitar), and Ralph Mallory (drums) formed the original lineup. When the group relocated to San Francisco the following year, only Frayne, Bolton, and Tichy made the move; the group's membership included Billy C. Farlowe (vocals, harp), Andy Stein (fiddle, saxophone), guitarist Billy Kirchen, bassist "Buffalo" Bruce Barlow, and drummer Lance Dickerson at the time of their 1971 debut album, Lost in the Ozone. The following year the group scored a fluke Top Ten hit with "Hot Rod Lincoln," taken from their first album, Lost in the Ozone. Commander Cody was never able to capitalize <b>...</b>
