A little history: The Tuskegee airmen were named after the college/airfield they trained at during WWII in Tuskegee, Alabama. They were the first all black fighter group to come into existence.
At first it started out as kind of a "bet" amongst some pentagon military types that the black man wasn't capable of flying an aircraft, might less a combat aircraft. The word was then that thier "primitive mind" couldn't comprehend the nuances of modern combat at the time. Not only did they earn their pilots wings, but went on to become one of the best fighter groups of WWII.
Where 'other' FG's would break off a certain many miles from the target, the 332 FG would follow the bombers all the way in, all the way out. And where others would break and pursue targets, the Tuskegee airmen were extremely disciplined and never strayed from the bombers, some of the main reasons they never lost one to enemy AC...
They existed in part to the push of Eleanor Wilson, the wife of the US president at the time.... she was a strong advocate of rights and equality.. and played a big role during the last term of her husband in pushing these. She had a personal interest in seeing this program succeed.
The bomber pilots soon began requesting them above all other groups as they knew they would look out for them... never leave.
The Germans began to fear them as well.... "Red Tail Devils" or something like that they were called... reporteldy (remember this was WWII where telling big stories was an art) at times some of the fighters would turn back when they saw the 332nd red tails protecting the group.
They also were one of the first groups to encounter the Me-262 and probably one of the first to shoot one down.
Other firsts with this group: the first two black Generals in the Air Force were members of this group, it produced 3 colonels, 6 Lt. Cols, all of which have the distinction of flying in WWII, Korea and Viet Nam...
A very good book about them is in the biography of its' CO, Lt. Gen. Benjamin O. Davis (titled Benjamin O Davis) and a not so historically accurate movie, but has some decent flight scenes and follows the spirit of the group, is "The Tuskegee Airmen" available online... it really does a decent job of showing what these guys were up against both at home and on the front... Including bomber pilots driving out to the airfield, seeing the red tailed mustangs and wanting to go thank the pilots who saved them the day before, and when they got there would say "aint no way you fly that thing "boy"" (boy being a derogative term in this case... very derogative relating to the slave days here)
Anyway I know, a looong way from the BoB we are talking about here, but providing a little history of WHY those red tailed fighters were so awesome...
P.S. for some reason I have no big love of the P-51, if it were not for this build... I really wanna do this...
And since I am so off topic, I might as well interject I like the idea of the desert rat resting (sleeping???) under the palm tree.. haha.. or in the center either one, it would be appropriate... maybe with a five point star shadowy 'watermark' background.. covers the commonwealth, the US and Germany in the conflict...
