According to the NPS, "These first African American military pilots became known as the "Red Tails" because they wore striped tails as they began their flight training in the Army's PT-17 Stearman bi-plane.The Tuskegee Airmen were not just pilots...They were technicians, radio operators, medical personnel, quartermasters, parachute riggers, mechanics, bombardiers, navigators, meteorologists, control tower operators, dispatchers, cooks, and others."
