I found it very interesting that Vernice Armour was the first female African American combat pilot. Women are making incredible breakthroughs every day. I believe she opened up a huge door not only for African American women but all women in the world. She is the true meaning of Hill Harper’s definition of living with impact and legacy.…
During the year 1950, there were three young African American women who joined NACA. In other words the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. Before the three intelligent African American women were hired NASA would hire a lot of people to work with them. They had to do math equations and use calculations to find out the problem. But these three women made discovery as we know how it is today, they got to where they did but by proving people that anyone even African Americans can do what others can do.…

Not only is she a role model for African Americans but also to women.…
1. This paper is on the Tuskegee Airmen. It will cover the flight training program, impact on United States Air Force (USAF) desegregation, and General Benjamin O. Davis, Jr.…
The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American airmen in the military, and fought during World War Two. The men would experience nine months of training in order to graduate and earn either commissions or Army Air Corps silver pilot wings. The squadrons were always very successful in the missions during the war, after a few years President Harry S. Truman would begin to desegregate the military. The Tuskegee Airmen had a rough start but they were one of the best squadrons during the war. The Tuskegee Airmen would help change many things during World War Two, even though nothing was easy for them due to the racism and segregation which was prevalent at that time, they would continue to fight using older planes and often never receive credit for their achievements.…
Being the first of anything is never easy, especially when you are representing a whole race. Knowing this, it was difficult for the Tuskegee Airmen, a.k.a. Red Tails for the red mark on the tail of their aircraft, to participate in World War II as the first African-American pilots in history. They served from 1943-1945, collecting marvelous records and earning great respect for their performance. But most importantly, the Red Tails helped attain equal rights for African-Americans. The Tuskegee Airmen showed persistence in the struggle to participate in the war, which set a precedent for colored-people, they showed that African Americans can do anything any other people can do, and their remarkable performance gave the army a reason to involve African-Americans in the war.…
The Tuskegee Airmen were the first group of black pilots and their support teams to ever fly for the U. S. Military. Before them, there were never any black pilots to fly especially in combat. The formation of the group did not come easy though. They had to petition the U. S. Government several times before they agreed to put them into service.…
Throughout history the capability of women has been highly doubted, which has motivated woman to debunk any disparagement. To delineate, Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly across North America and back, was doubted ever since she was a child by her father, Edwin Earhart, and as she grew up by other people as well.Amelia Earhart’s younger sister, Anita Earhart, was one person who doubted her ability to fly an aircraft when she first began. Amelia Earhart proved her family and others that doubted her that she was capable of accomplishing her goals when she became the first women to fly across North America and when she became a famous pilot, even after a few fails. In this case, Amelia Earhart used the doubt of others to bolster her certainty of achieving her goals by never giving up even when all those around her thought she would not amount to anything.…
The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of African-American military pilots who fought courageously during World War II. I never knew much about them until I started reading about them. As a matter of fact, I never even know they existed until I read about them. They have quite a story of trying to get into the air force. They had to fight through racial segregation and the Jim Crow laws to get where they wanted to be and serve, even though they kept getting rejected most of the time they tried to get it. In order to get what they wanted, they were incredibly consistent to prove that they were worthy of serving their own country. Their culture is also more interesting as well. Sure, they might have some common similarities with my culture today, but they also…
Mankind has always been fascinated with the idea of flying like birds. His early attempts at flight were dangerous and sometimes quite humorous. As modern airplanes came onto the scene, more and more people took to the skies. Initially, most of these people were male; however, one name that is synonymous with flying is a female. Amelia Earhart, a self-determined and motivated young woman who had an unfathomable passion for aeronautics and adventure, is best known for her renowned accomplishments as the first pilot to solo across the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and afar.…
During the time, of World War II, there were fighter pilots who were protectors for the bombers. These fighter pilots mission was to be as forerunners (to go before the main fighter’s). These men are to be able to secure shipments as well as weapons of mass destruction. Although, even before Tuskegee Airmen, there were any African American’s able to become a United States military pilot. In 1917, African-American men had tried to become aerial observers, but were rejected; an African American named Eugene Bullard served as one of the members of the Franco-American Lafayette Escadrille. Nonetheless, he was denied the opportunity to transfer to American military units as a pilot when the other American pilots in the unit were offered…
Therefore, the “Tuskegee Experiment” proved that African-American pilots could fly and fight as well as their white counterparts. The Tuskegee pilots’ wartime exploits played a key role in President Harry S. Truman’s 1948 decision to desegregate the U.S. military, which in turn opened up opportunities for all African…

I dedicate my first article to the Tuskegee airmen. They were the first African- American aviators in the United States armed forces. The Tuskegee airmen were subjected to racism. Despite these adversities they trained and flew with distinction. They went on amazing missions and saved many people. I chose these men because they inspired me to believe that even though you may be doubted and scoffed to still strive for your dreams. When I think of the Tuskegee airmen I think of a quote by Walt Disney. “Whatever you do, do it well. Do it so well that when people see you do it they will want to come back and see you do it again and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do.”…
