The story of the 332nd Fighter Group—America's first African American combat aviators—is legendary. But in the 80 years since they entered World War II, the Tuskegee Airmen story has, like many legends, grown and changed, obscuring the reality of their service. Author Chris Bucholtz peels away the layers of mythology to show that the facts of the Tuskegee Airmen and their accomplishments are even more impressive than the myths, and stretched beyond the end of the Second World War to impact our society today. Book signing to follow the talk.
