The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American pilots, navigators, and bombardiers that flew for the United States military. Active during World War II, the Tuskegee Airmen had some of the lowest loss records of any escort fighter group, a prestige that defied racial prejudices. Their skill, bravery, and service paved the way for racial reform in the military and earned them a Congressional Gold Medal in 2006.
