With their distinctive red tails,
P-51 Mustangs of the 332nd Fighter Group – the famed Tuskegee
Airmen, climb to operational height as B17 Fortresses from the
483rd Bomb Group manoeuvre into formation at the start of another
long and dangerous mission over Germany, Oct 1944. A welcome
sight for the Fortress crews, the renowned all-black Tuskegee
pilots were credited for never losing an escorted bomber to enemy
aircraft.
Signed by three Tuskegee pilots, and two B-17 pilots of the 483rd
Bomb Group.
