In May of 1997, the Museum of Aviation opened an Air Force 50th Anniversary exhibit to recognize the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II and the achievements of black Americans in aviation. The 5,000- square-foot exhibit is called 'America's Black Eagles: The Tuskegee Pioneers ... and Beyond.' The Tuskegee Airmen of World War II played a key role in the integration of the armed forces, and their record in combat is unequaled. This exhibit highlights the sacrifices and significant contributions they and other black Americans made to the U. S. Air Force and our nation.
