On 5 April 1945 several African-American officers from the 477th Bombardment Group attempted to enter an officers' club at Freeman Field near Seymour, Ind., and were arrested. A total of 101 officers were charged with refusing to sign a directive acknowledging the existence of segregated recreational facilities at the base. Charges were dropped against all but three officers. One officer was court-martialed over the incident. James Gould Cozzens wrote a fictional account of the incident, "Guard of Honor," in 1948. The book won a Pulitzer Prize.
