Our membership includes men and women of different races, ages, including military and civilian, veterans and non-veterans.
One of our goals is to perpetuate the activities and achievements of those Americans who shared in the aspirations and frustrations of pioneering men and women in the Tuskegee Airmen Experience and United States Army Air Corps/United States Air Force.
