  • The Twelve Greatest Air Battles of the Tuskegee Airmen
    THE TWELVE GREATEST AIR BATTLES OF THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN Daniel L. Haulman, PhD Chief, Organizational Histories Branch Air Force Historical Research Agency 25 January 2010 edition Introduction The 332d Fighter Group was the only African-American group in the Army Air Forces in World War II to enter combat overseas. It eventually consisted of four fighter squadrons, the 99th, 100th, 301st, and 302d. Before the 332d Fighter Group deployed, the 99th Fighter Squadron, had already taken part in combat for many months. The primary mission of the 99th Fighter Squadron before June 1944 was to launch air raids on ground targets or to defend Allied forces on the ground from enemy air attacks, but it also escorted medium bombers on certain missions in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations. When the 332d Fighter Group first deployed to Italy in early 1944, it also flew patrol, close air support, and interdiction tactical missions for the Twelfth Air Force. Between early June 1944 and late April 1945, the 332d Fighter Group, which the 99th Fighter Squadron joined, flew a total of 311 missions with the Fifteenth Air Force. The primary function of the group then, along with six other fighter groups of the Fifteenth Air Force, was to escort heavy bombers, including B-17s and B-24s, on strategic raids against enemy targets in Germany, Austria, and parts of Nazi-occupied central, southern, and Eastern Europe. This paper focuses on the twelve greatest air battles of the Tuskegee Airmen. They include the eleven missions in which the 332d Fighter Group, or the 99th Fighter Squadron before deployment of the group, shot down at least four enemy aircraft.

Steward was captain of the Santa Barbara State College (later known as UCSB) basketball team when Pearl Harbor was bombed in 1941. The day after the attack, Steward, along with other members of the team, went to a recruiting office in Santa Barbara to sign up with the army. All of the members of the team were accepted, except for Steward – the only African American on the team. Steward was instead told to report to his draft board in Los Angeles, which he did. Steward was told at this time to go home and wait until he was contacted.

  • 1 MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT the TUSKEGEE AIRMEN Dr. Daniel L
    MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN Dr. Daniel L. Haulman Air Force Historical Research Agency 8 March 2016 The members of the 332d Fighter Group and the 99th, 100th, 301st, and 302d Fighter Squadrons during World War II are remembered in part because they were the only African-American pilots who served in combat with the United States armed forces during World War II. Because they trained at Tuskegee Army Air Field before and during the war, they are sometimes called the Tuskegee Airmen. In the more than sixty years since World War II, several stories have grown up about the Tuskegee Airmen, some of them true and some of them false. This paper focuses on forty-five misconceptions about the Tuskegee Airmen that, in light of the historical documentation available at the Air Force Historical Research Agency, and sources at the Air University Library, are not accurate. That documentation includes monthly histories of the 99th Fighter Squadron, the 332d Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group, the 332d Fighter Group’s daily narrative mission reports, orders issued by the Twelfth and Fifteenth Air Forces, Fifteenth Air Force mission folders, missing air crew reports, histories of Tuskegee Army Air Field, and other documents. I will address each of the following forty-five misconceptions separately: 1. The misconception of inferiority 2. The misconception of “never lost a bomber” 3. The misconception of the deprived ace 4. The misconception of being first to shoot down German jets 5. The misconception that the Tuskegee Airmen sank a German destroyer 1 6. The misconception of the “Great Train Robbery” 7.
