Re: Luftwaffe Reaction re: African American Pilots?
Hi guys
Interestingly, I have just purchased an excellent book written by Cy Grant (one the first black TV entertainers in Britain back in the late 1950s), a former RAF navigator who was shot down and made POW in 1943. The title of the book is an echo of the caption to his photograph that appeared in a German newspaper - "A member of the RAF of Indeterminate Race." Cheers Brian |

Re: Luftwaffe Reaction re: African American Pilots?
Hi
Theree is an intercept for 2/44I found in PRO HW 5 last week that noted that an all Negro USAF fighter Squadorn was now in action on the Italian front. It detailed the Squadron and a/c type but I haven't looked for this in the pics I took Tony |
