<b><b>It's up, up, and away with the Tuskegee Airmen, a heroic group of African American military pilots who helped the United States win World War II</b>.</b><br><br>During World War II, black Americans were fighting for their country and for freedom in Europe, yet they had to endure a totally segregated military in the United States, where they weren't considered smart enough to become military pilots. After acquiring government funding for aviation training, civil rights activists were able to kickstart the first African American military flight program in the US at Tuskegee University in Alabama.
