Davis (1912-2002) was an acclaimed pilot and officer who became the first African American general in the U.S. Air Force. Davis’ autobiography chronicles the life of a great American and provides an acute account of race relations in the segregated and unsegregated military. Davis entered the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1932. After graduating in 1936, he was commissioned in the infantry and in 1941 was among the first group of African Americans admitted to the Army Air Corps and to pilot training.

The 99th Squadron flew tactical support missions in the Mediterranean theater. In 1943 he organized and commanded the famed 332nd Fighter Group. Davis later commanded the integrated 51st Fighter Wing in Korea and the 13th Air Force during the Vietnam War. He retired from the Air Force in 1970 as a three-star general. On December 9, 1998, Davis was awarded his fourth general’s star, the first African American to be so honored in retirement.

They became known as the Tuskegee Airmen. During WWII, the pilots flew P-51 Mustangs to escort the heavy bombers of the 15th Air Force during raids deep into enemy territory. The tails of their planes were painted red for identification purposes, earning them the enduring nickname “Red Tails...
