A family friend piloted B-24’s out of North Africa and later on Italy. He stated his group often asked for these airmen to be their escorts. On one mission his bomber was shot up pretty well. His gunners were shot up as well and did not have much of a chance to shoot back if attacked. Due to their mechanical issues they slowly dropped out of the return flight. That was not a good place to be as the stragglers were easy to pick off. They feared the worst when two Tuskegee Airmen pulled up next to them. They could not communicate in that his radios were gone, but these two guys stayed with them most all the way home. They made it home and he gives all the credit to these two men, men he never knew and never met.

Exactly who did they ask to get the T.A as escorts? Escorting was done on a strict rotational basis according to information found on the web site TUSKEGEE AIRMEN INC the main chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen. To have them escort a mission was an advantage. The T.A. had 64 fighters in their squadron vs 48 fighters in other fighter groups.
