EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a North American P-51B Mustang fighter plane of the 99th Fighter Squadron, Tuskegee Airmen, as it soars through the Italian sky in September 1944. Part of the 15th Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), the 99th Fighter Squadron was the first African American unit to fly in combat during World War II. The P-51B Mustang, a long-range, single-seat fighter aircraft, was a vital asset to the squadron, enabling them to escort bombers over enemy territory and protect them from attack. The image captures the power and grace of the Mustang in flight, with its distinctive curved wings and sleek design. The Tuskegee Airmen overcame numerous challenges and discrimination to prove their worth and contribute significantly to the Allied victory in Europe. This photograph is a testament to their courage, determination, and the important role they played in aviation history.
