After the recent release of “Red Tails,” the 20th Century Fox film produced by George Lucas, the story of the only African American pilots during the second world war has caught the public’s interest. The Tuskegee Airmen, so named for their training ground in Tuskegee, Ala., “included pilots, navigators, bombardiers, maintenance and support staff, instructors and all the personnel who kept the planes in the air,” according to Tuskegee Airmen Inc.
