How many enemy aircraft was destroyed by the Tuskegee Airmen?

The Tuskegee Airmen shot down a total of 112 enemy aeroplanes in combat. This includes another 150 on the ground and 148 damaged.

The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces. They were trained at the Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama during World War II.

The Tuskegee Airmen were a racially segregated unit, as were many other parts of the federal government and military during that time. Despite facing racist opposition, they went on to become one of the finest US fighter groups in World War II proving their worth and breaking barriers for future generations of military personnel.

On 29 March 2007, the Tuskegee Airmen were collectively awarded a Congressional Gold Medal at a ceremony in the U.S. Capitol rotunda.

The Tuskegee Airmen Memorial was built in honour of the Tuskegee Airmen, their trainers, and ground support staff who trained at Walterboro Army Airfield during World War II and it is located at Walterboro Army Airfield, South Carolina.
