How many planes did Tuskegee Airmen shot down?

According to the National World War II Museum, the Tuskegee Airmen flew over 15,000 individual missions and shot down 112 enemy aeroplanes in 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.

In 2008, the Tuskegee Airmen were inducted into the International Air & Space Hall of Fame at the San Diego Air & Space Museum,

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.
