Description
This North American P-51D Mustang "Bunny" was flown by Lt. Robert (Bob) Friend a fighter pilot with the famed Tuskegee Airmen and the 332nd Fighter Group in World War 2. After the war Bob Friend remained in the air force and retired as a Lt. Colonel after heading up the US Air Force Project Blue Book the investigation into UFO's and serving in the USAF Space Command.
The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces. During World War II, Black Americans in many U.S. states were still subject to the Jim Crow laws and the American military was racially segregated, as was much of the federal government. The Tuskegee Airmen were subjected to racial discrimination, both within and outside the army. All Black military pilots who trained in the United States trained at Moton Field, the Tuskegee Army Air Field and were educated at Tuskegee University, located near Tuskegee, Alabama
