The Tuskegee Airmen's aircraft had a distinctive tail that led to the name, "Red Tails."[N 1]
List of Tuskegee Airmen contains the names of notable Tuskegee Airmen, who were a group of primarily African-American military pilots (fighter and bomber) and airmen who fought in World War II. The name also applies to the navigators, bombardiers, mechanics, instructors, crew chiefs, nurses, cooks and other support personnel.[2] They were collectively awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2006.[3]
There are 1007 documented Tuskegee Airmen Pilots.[4][5] For a complete list of 1007 graduate cadet pilots, see the List of Tuskegee Airmen Cadet Pilot Graduation Classes.

Notes
- ↑ The red markings that distinguished the Tuskegee Airmen included red bands on the noses of P-51s as well as a red rudder; their P-51B and D Mustangs flew with similar color schemes, with red propeller spinners, yellow wing bands and all-red tail surfaces.[1]
- ↑ The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is an American single-engined, single-seat, all-metal fighter and ground-attack aircraft that first flew in 1938. The Warhawk was used by most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in frontline service until the end of the war.[6]
