Before 1941, the U.S. military—which was officially segregated—prohibited Black pilots. Civil rights organizations and Black newspapers pressured the government to open up the role to Black aviators. In 1941, the government contracted the Tuskegee Institute to offer primary training for the military’s first Black airmen. On March 22, 1941, the 99th Pursuit Squadron (later the 99th Fighter Squadron) was formally constituted. Not only was it the very first Tuskegee Airmen unit, but it was also the first Black flying unit of any kind in American military history. The inaugural members began their training at Chanute Field in central Illinois, but they didn’t stay there very long. By the end of the year, the 99th had relocated to Tuskegee, Alabama. Read more about the Tuskegee Airmen at the link in our bio. #accessibility text: Photo of the Tuskegee Airmen gathered around a desk.
