Alabama: The Barrier-Breaking Tuskegee Airmen with Emma Chapman
Alabama: The Barrier-Breaking Tuskegee Airmen with Emma Chapman
It was 1941, and the first African Americans enlisted in a program for pilot training formed by the War Department in WWII. Sharon welcomes guest Emma Chapman, one of the founders of A Beautiful Mess, to hear the story of Alabama’s infamous 99th Pursuit Squadron: the first Black military pilot unit trained at the Tuskegee Airfield in Alabama. The airmen broke racial barriers at home and excelled overseas during World War II, earning the name Red-Tails and becoming some of the most decorated wartime aviators in U.S. history.
