Hart's war was kind of interesting. Not what I expected, but I did enjoy it. I don't know if any were captured or not. Good question though. Anyone?

The following is from a post from a friend that performed at their "LAST reunion" and got to know them
Hollie Vest
The TUSKEGEE AIRMEN were the "BEST OF THE BEST"!!! They NEVER lost or had one plane shot down...EVER! The 2001 reunion was the first time that the men they protected, the 15th Air Force Heavy Bomber Crews...were reunited (along with The Buffalo Soldiers). The Tuskegee Airmen were lined up at the front of the stage as each of the Bomber Fighters passed in front of them, and shook their hand and THANKING the Tuskegee Airmen for "saving our lives".
If you don't know their story...check out the movie with Cuba Gooding Jr., Lawrence Fishborne etc...The Tuskegee Airmen!
Their story is POWERFUL!!!

Does anyone think "The Tuskegee Airmen" did any more justice to them than "Memphis Bell" did to that crew??? They were both pretty generalized. Pearl Harbor was a stinker as well. Just my opinion.

Not to take anything away from them, they served their country with honor and distinction, but that is not true. Records have shown that bombers were lost.
