Re: 332nd FG Tribute
Hi Pathfinder:
Your site on the 332nd FG is well-done and a nice tribute. They overcame enormous prejudice and barricades to do what they did. And they did it with style and panaché. As a US Southerner, born and bred, I know what those "Jim Crow" times were like.
However, history is history. While their accomplishments were great, the claim of never having lost a bomber under their escort is not true. This was popularized into myth and by repetition and political correctness into fact. Recent research reveals this is not true and, even beyond that, could never be proven anyway. I suggest you Google 332nd or Tuskegee Airmen and see this recent research.
