Thought this was interesting after 70+ years.

Interesting story thankyou for sharing. I have been interested in the history of the Tuskegee Armen since watching the movie Red Tails.

Here is a video that I put together some time ago featuring the A2A P47 & B17. The A2A P51 wasn't available at the time.

He might have been on an escort mission (or several) with my father that's a possibility.
Sad that he never survived the war.
But thanks for the story.
