Re: Tuskegee Record Article in the New York Times

kaki3152,

We have discussed it earlier, that this statement is not true (and I mentioned another example, 27 July, 1944 as well, when they lost not just escorted bombers, but the Hungarian fighters managed to shot down one of the Tuskegees as well, without a single loss of their own)

Well, I guess, it was really flattering for the veterans, but not true at all (and I guess, they know it well). It is not a kind of "downgrade" of their generally fine performance, just the pure reality.
