Detailed explanation-1: -Trained at the Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama, they flew more than 15, 000 individual sorties in Europe and North Africa during World War II. Their impressive performance earned them more than 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses, and helped encourage the eventual integration of the U.S. armed forces.
Detailed explanation-2: -Racism and segregation continued to have a stranglehold on the country. Instead of being greeted with a hero’s welcome, the Tuskegee Airmen were segregated as soon as they disembarked the ships that brought them home. German prisoners of war were treated better than black Americans.
Detailed explanation-3: -Americans faced shortages that required them to deal with the hassle of rationing. They had to provide the necessary coupons-issued by the Office of Price Administration-to be able to purchase items in short supply like sugar, or meat, or gasoline. Housing shortages plagued people moving to war-production centers.
