Description
This North American P-51B Mustang "By Request" was flown by Colonel Benjamin O. Davis Jr. a fighter pilot and commanding officer of the 332nd Fighter Group with the famed Tuskegee Airmen and the 332nd Fighter Group in World War 2. After the war Benjamin Davis Jr. remained in the air force and retired as a 4 Star General in 1970..
The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces. During World War II, Black Americans in many U.S. states were still subject to the Jim Crow laws and the American military was racially segregated, as was much of the federal government. The Tuskegee Airmen were subjected to racial discrimination, both within and outside the army. All Black military pilots who trained in the United States trained at Moton Field, the Tuskegee Army Air Field and were educated at Tuskegee University, located near Tuskegee, Alabama
