Biographical History
Tuskegee Airmen, Inc., North Coast Chapter (f. 1992) is the Cleveland, Ohio, area chapter of the national organization whose sole purpose is to educate young African Americans about the challenges faced by the Tuskegee Airmen in training to become World War II fighter pilots in the United States Army Air Corps. Members give talks to area groups describing injustice and segregation in the military during the 1940s, encourage aviation training, and sponsor scholarships for various educational pursuits.
The Tuskegee Airmen were graduates of the segregated Tuskegee Army Flying School near Tuskegee, Alabama. Many of the graduates joined the four squadrons of the renowned 332nd Fighter Group where they demonstrated that black men could indeed fly fighter planes and served with distinction throughout the war.
