Detailed explanation-2: -Before 1940, African Americans were barred from flying for the US military.

They became known as the Tuskegee Airmen.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Tuskegee Airmen /tʌsˈkiːɡiː/ were a group of primarily African American military pilots (fighter and bomber) and airmen who fought in World War II. They formed the 332d Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group (Medium) of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF).
Detailed explanation-4: -Their job is to drop bombs, shoot at enemy ships on the water, and shoot down enemy aircraft.
