Short Caption:
The Tuskegee Airmen were to go into combat in B-25 bombers, but the war ended before that happened.
Description:
As the Tuskegee program expanded, the War Department approved the training of black airmen to fly B-25 Mitchell bombers. World War II ended before the 477th Bombardment Group was assigned to combat.
