Dr. Haulman’s book provides a unique, year-by-year overview of the fascinating story of the Tuskegee Airmen, chronicling important events in the formation of the first military training for black pilots in United States history, the phases of their training at various air fields in Tuskegee and elsewhere, their continued training at other bases around the U. S., and their deployment overseas. On August 2, Dr. Haulman shared stories of these servicemen who fought
two enemies, Nazis in Europe and racism at home, and ultimately earned a hard-won double victory. Dr. Daniel L. Haulman is Chief, Organizational History Division, at the United States Air Force Historical Research Agency. He has authored many books and scholarly articles about the airmen. He co-authored the bestselling work The Tuskegee Airmen, An Illustrated History: 1939-1949, published by NewSouth Books. As a member of the Tuskegee Airmen Incorporated for many years, he has attended seven of the organization’s conventions and counts many Tuskegee Airmen as personal friends.
