The story of the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African American pilots who saw combat during the Second World War. <br><br> The 332nd Fighter Group has a history which sets it apart from that of any other air force fighter groups in the Second World War: all personnel, from pilots to ground crew to surgeons, were black. They confounded a whole series of expectations and prejudices that existed in America in the thirties and forties about the abilities of black Americans. They excelled as pilots and became a crack unit, showing great courage and skill and achieving where other fighter groups had failed. Yet, despite this, they were segregated on the ground and in the air from the white flyers whose lives they protected.
