HISTORY

The Tuskegee Airmen were the first black pilots in American military service. They were called the Tuskegee Airmen because they received their pilot training on airfields around Tuskegee, Alabama. The most important of these airfields were Moton Field, where they obtained their primary flying training in biplanes, and Tuskegee Army Air Field, several miles to the northwest of Moton Field, where the airmen received their basic, advanced, and transition flying training.
