Tuskegee Airmen Veterans tell story in 'Red Tail Angels' - VAntage Point

If you haven't read the story of the Red Tail Angels, it is well worth the time! Good post

The Tuskegee Airmen contributed significant capabilities in Europe. The advent of the P-51 and skill of the pilots ushered in a new era which would eventually lead to air dominance over the Germans.
I have seen videos of Tuskegee Airmen describe flying in the P-51s and they fell into great reverie. They loved that plane and it entered their hearts. Flying them was a spiritual moment. I have a poor memory, but I won't forget that.

- They were able to escort strategic bombers all the way to their targets and back.
- The were instrumental in destruction of the Luftwaffe. Often German fighters would attack our strategic bombers when the escort fighters had to turn around due to the lack of range. P-51 fighters had the range to defend the bombers and attack and destroy German fighters that threatened bombers.
- P-51 pilots were used on tactical runs which destroyed thousands of planes on the ground and engaged German units on the ground.

Thanks for the share and, definitely, I will read any narrative about the Tuskegee Airmen and the Red Tail Angels.
