Tuskegee Airmen Artifacts Needed For Museum

Source: commemorativeairforce.org

Do you have Tuskegee Airmen artifacts? The CAF Red Tail Squadron wants to talk to you!

The CAF Red Tail Squadron needs the help of our fellow CAF units. We are looking for artifacts, mementos and memorials of the Tuskegee Airmen!

We hope to create a virtual showcase of these personal items to further humanize the experiences of the Tuskegee Airmen which will help people better relate to them and learn more about these important Americans. World War II may be slipping farther into the past, but, as we all know, the lessons to be learned from the Tuskegee Airmen are TIMELESS!

Here's what we need from you. If you have any artifacts (items from a uniform, log books, notes, medals, anything physical that belonged to an original Tuskegee Airmen) or know of any memorials, please get in touch with us. We will collect a photo and information from you that will be used to launch this new project and help make it a success.

Do you have any artifacts or know someone who does? Or are there any at your local air museum? Give us a call or email!

Reach out to darcydcastro@redtail.org or (203) 297-4994. Don't wait! We need your help now!
