As a member of the 15th Air Force, the renowned "Tuskegee Airmen" of the 332nd Fighter Group escorted American bombers as they flew over Italy. They served as escorts, flying P-47s and later P-51s, and were in charge of guarding bigger bombers from German fighters.
The Tuskegee Airmen, including the members of their squadrons, groups, and those stationed at their bases of operations during training and battle, were the first African Americans to serve as military pilots in the United States. Tuskegee Airmen trained 992 pilots, including single-engine fighter pilots, twin-engine bomber pilots, liaison pilots, and service pilots, but the whole Tuskegee Airmen workforce, including ground staff such aircraft technicians and logisticians, was more than 14,000 people.
The Tuskegee Airmen were also the first African American military pilots serving in the American military to be sent to a combat zone abroad, participate in combat, and shoot down hostile aircraft. The Tuskegee Airmen's fighter pilots are best known for their work in the Mediterranean theater, first with the Twelfth Air Force, for which they flew hundreds of missions, and then with the Fifteenth Air Force.
