Red Tail Angels

Red Tail Angels are a group of skilled pilots who participated in the Tuskegee Airmen program during World War II, primarily composed of African-American servicemen. Known for their exceptional flying abilities, they earned the nickname "Red Tails" because of the distinctive red paint on the tails of their aircraft. Their success challenged racial stereotypes, contributed significantly to the war effort, and helped pave the way for the desegregation of the U.S. military. The Red Tail Angels symbolize courage, skill, and the fight for equality in American history.
