This jacket was a result of a year long development and cooperation with dedicated individual Tuskegee Airman. It is a contemporary tribute honoring the valiant Tuskegee Airmen.
These young men were Americas first African American Combat aviators who went through the toughest of times both at home fighting and enduring segregation and overseas fighting the German enemy in the skies over Europe and gave so much to defend our country.
