With the words of his Group CO ringing in his ears, Charles
McGee of the 332nd Fighter Group returns to protect a crippled
B-17 after downing two Me109s in quick succession. Agonisingly,
two more enemy fighters were left to escape but McGee knew that
under the strict leadership of Colonel Benjamin O. Davis, his
mission, and that of the other all-black pilots of the 332nd,
was solely to protect the bombers. That iron discipline was to
earn this famous unit the respect and admiration of hundreds
of bomber crews, and to create a legend. Signed by
six Tuskegee pilots.
