Tuskegee Airmen COIN------ON SKY LOOK BACKGROUND---TRANSFER DESIGN TO ANOTHER PRODUCT.------USE ANY COLOR BACKGROUND.-----In spite of adversity and limited opportunities, African Americans have played a significant role in U.S. military history over the past 300 years. They were denied military leadership roles and skilled training because many believed they lacked qualifications for combat duty. Before 1940, African-Americans were barred from flying for the U.S. military. Civil rights organisations and the black press exerted pressure that resulted in the formation of an all African-American pursuit squadron based in Tuskegee, Alabama, in 1941. They became known as the Tuskegee Airmen.
