After watching a documentary on the 332 Fighter Group Tuskegee Airmen and the roll they played flying the Red Tail Mustangs in WWll I am wondering if they have ever been recognized with philatelic covers ?
I would like to include their story in my WWll collection
Thanks for any help

When i was in the Air Force stationed in Southern Italy (Taranto,Puglia) in 1961 my base commander Colonel Chuck McGee was one of the Red Tail pilots...obviously he made the Air Force his career as he was probably in his early 40's at the time. He was a good choice having been in Italy in WW2 he was fluent in Italian and knew the Italian people. He was a Gentleman.

Of course he was. There is an old saying that dates back
from the British military; "An officer and gentleman
by an Act of Congress."
The commissioning of military officers is mentioned in the
Constitution. (Art. II, Sect 3 ) The Military nominates,
Congress approves, and the president commissions.

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
