God bless those men and their service to our country. They saved a lot of bomber flight crews!

[@WalkwithHistory]

Yes they did. Absolutely amazing men

[@H.pylori]

Thank you so much for this tribute to the Tuskegee Airman. You did a fantastic, unbiased job. And kudos to you for your service. I know from experience that for a female to become a U.S. Navy pilot, you are the best of the best. God bless you and your family.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you so much! Your words truly mean a lot as we do our best to represent history and these amazing patriots well. 😊

[@GpaEric5931]

So sweet to see the kids laying down American flags. Sign of patriotism. Phenomenal video again. As a military man myself I appreciate y’all. Cheers.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you. 😊 We we’re happy to get them involved just a bit. We appreciate you as well!! Happy Veterans Day. 😁

[@leeanneyoungman8028]

Thank you, this is one of the most touching of all your walks... and I did shed a tear. 😔

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you so much. That means a lot to hear that. This was a very special video for us to make. 😊

[@virginia247]

The women vetrans , the women who flew ,the women at home at that time, god bless them all r.i.p❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@davechin5639]

Very nice to see. My father graduated 3 classes behind Lt. Col Cheatham, and he was one of his good friends throughout the Tuskegee Experience. He spent a lot of time with him, Lt. Rolin Bynum, Lt. James Allison, Lt. Conrad Cheek, and Lt. Claude Rowe. When I was young, they used to catchup which was always great. It was great as I had the pleasure of meeting Lt. Col. Alex Jefferson a few times, as he was classmates with Lt. Bynum and also spent time with my father after he returned to TAAF. So it's especially cool to see the story i have heard about the attack on the radar installation and then the POW camp being visualised in the MotA series. And it's great they used so much of his book and his drawings to bring realism to the sets.

[@WalkwithHistory]

That is so cool. Thank you for posting. I am loving MotA and the recognition the Tuskegee Airmen are getting. It is awesome to see. Thank you so much for watching.

[@irishwarrior35]

Sitting here and I was good until you started to talk about Captain Dixon being interned in Arlington. Thank you for reminding us of these amazing brave men!!

[@WalkwithHistory]

It was an honor to tell their stories. They make me proud to be a pilot.

[@robertmoyer175]

I love seeing you getting your family nvolved.👍❤️

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you! These are often a family effort. 😁

[@mydaddysgreeneyes]

My heart and mind are full and I don't know what to say so I will just say this: Tears shed. Enough said.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you. I was overwhelmed with emotion too. 😊

[@13822831]

Saw your tribute to Tuskegee airmen I enjoy all of your videos and was really touched that you had your family participate in putting flags on the various markers at Arlington thank you for your service God bless you and your family I am so proud to have served as a Marine from 79-85

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you so much for watching and for your service. Happy Birthday Marine Corp

[@seanwiley558]

When I was in High school, I did a history report on the Red Tails. What an amazing story of all the beriors they broke through. Can Do!

[@WalkwithHistory]

Yes they did. Thank you for watching!

[@johnresto1603]

I'm planning to go next month and visit as many of the Tuskegee veterans as possible.

[@WalkwithHistory]

We will be there this weekend. Too bad we will miss each other!!

[@garymcbrearty5845]

The sheer number of missions those guys flew is quite outstanding in itself, never mind the accolades they rightfully earned. I find that it's equally shameful that this tribute to these brave warriors has been seen by so few people, as the fact that they were directed by skin colour the day they set foot on home soil. Thank you Tuskegee airmen, men just like you are the reason my family exist today, from the grandson of a double tour RAF bomber command pathfinder survivor

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you for the kind words and for your family’s service.

[@kennethswain6313]

We stopped at Walterboro to see that same monument. It’s hard to imagine how busy this field must have been during WW-II

[@WalkwithHistory]

I know. That must have been amazing to experience!!!! Thank you for watching.

[@whtwtrva926]

I just did a “Wreaths Across America” here in Denver and met a member of the Tuskegee airman ground crew. As a maintainer, I don’t think I could have a greater honor! Wish I could share pictures!

[@WalkwithHistory]

How amazing to have met one of the Tuskegee Airmen. They were a special group of men that really paved the way for others to follow.

[@MFRD-dh1gj]

Thank you for this.

[@WalkwithHistory]

[@tamiramos5873]

We have one of the Tuskegee airmen buried nearby where I live in. My mom used to work with his son in a nearby hospital. He died recently. The cemetery where you can find him is sad. You can tell its an black only cemetery This airman's name is Clinton Brooks Sr.

[@WalkwithHistory]

What a neat tie to history there! Thank you for sharing that 😁

[@timothywellington4154]

[@tommyanderson-filmmaker3976]

Great job!

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you! 😁

[@johnresto1603]

There are more than the 33 buried there. I found more that aren't listed from lost the cemetery website lists.

[@rokana9641]

Very informative

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you for watching

[@johnresto1603]

I just bough an art print of the Tuskegee airmen and it has the signature of Davis ans Archer. There are only 100 prints with his signature. There are over 20 signatures of Tuskegee airmen that sihn the print.

[@WalkwithHistory]

That is awesome!!!!

[@johnresto1603]

@@WalkwithHistory it's called Red tail angels by John Shaw

[@johnresto1603]

thank you for doing this video@@WalkwithHistory

[@johnresto1603]

That record isnt true. They did lose somw bombers.

[@WalkwithHistory]

The record is true for a specific amount of time. Not the entire duration.

[@davechin5639]

@@WalkwithHistory it was not true for any period of time. They lost their first escorted bomber on 332nd Mission #3 on 29 June, 1944. They lost 2 B-24s from the 459th BG. They lost a total of 27, which was well below the 15th AF average of 46.
