Tuskegee Airmen, most likely the 99th Pursuit (later Fighter) Squadron either in Tuskegee or North Africa. The Flying Tigers also flew P-40’s but were the American Volunteer Group (AVG) flying in China. Later Tuskegee Airmen were of the 332nd Fighter Group flying P-47’s (for a short time) and P-51’s which were painted with red noses and tails which lead to the nick-name of “Red-Tails” for the Group.
