I also have Tuskegee heritage if anyone once to disscuss, let me know. : ) I know that the British Black flyers were not segregated like our pilots in the US. Thank for your time and kind reply.

RE: Research on Black British Jamaican RAF WW-2 flyers

You have raised an interesting question. My service career was post war but I met several black airmen and aircrew during that time. Most of Carribean origin. As to wartime,I recall seeing several pictures in magazines and books tho' I'd be hard put to name them at this time.
