I have some questions about the Tuskeegee Airmen.

There have been several discussions about them on The Forum. Click the magnifying glass thing in the upper right hand corner. For search, just key in Tuskegee Airmen. A bunch of threads should show up. I'm sure there's quite a few here who would love to discuss any specific question you find interesting.
To steal from old Yellow Pages ad: "if it's out there, it's in here."
 
I hope this isn't another colour pics thread. I have four books and four files on the Tuskegee Airmen. The files may have been broken up from one, I can't remember because I found it(them) five years ago

Hi. Thanks for responding. Since I made that post I think I found my answer but here is what I was looking for; I was looking for reference material that would confirm that the passing grade on the Stanine Test to qualify was lowered from 6 for pilots and bombardiers and 7 for navigators to 4 for pilots and bombardiers and 5 for navigators for the Tuskeegee pilot candidates while the passing grades stayed at 6 and 7 respectively for White pilot candidates. Ulysses Lee in his work 'The Employment of Negro Troops' confirms that this happened. Do you have any information about this? Thanks.

Thanks.

Can you direct me to a source that will give me detailed information about all the fighter groups and their squadrons in the European theater? Their records, decorations, number of squadrons per group, number of planes per squadron, number of pilots assigned to the squadrons etc.? I have checked the web sites of some Squadrons but I couldn't find detailed info.
 
I have three books, "The Tuskegee Airmen - Black Heroes of WWll", "The Tuskegee Airmen - An Illustrated History: 1939-1949 with a Comprehensive Chronology of Missions and events" and "Tuskegee Airmen - Dogfighting with the Luftwaffe and Jim Crow"
