I can think of no better way to honor Dr. Martin Luther King on the day we in America celebrate his birthday (His actual birthday is January 15th) then to share a video/documentary (45 minutes) from the Military Channel about the Tuskegee Airmen (National Park Service Historic Site), the African American units of the Army AirCorps who did heroic work in World War II.
There is another site, Tuskegee Airmen Inc, however I should warn you that many of the links to documents on their history page appear to be broken. But they do have good videos and images (current and history) pages.

I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
