Misconceptions About the Tuskegee Airmen

July 22, 2023 11:18am

Do you know the story of the Tuskegee Airmen? Don't be so quick to answer "yes" to that question. I thought I knew the story of the Tuskegee Airmen. But upon reading Daniel Haulman's new book, "Misconceptions About the Tuskegee Airmen: Refuting Myths About America's First Black Military Pilots," I learned that much of what I knew was false.

And I bet much of what you think you know about the Tuskegee Airmen is also not true. So to clear things up, I invited Daniel Haulman onto my radio show to discuss it. Our conversation aired this morning on The Mike Bates Show and is now archived online as a podcast at www.TheMikeBatesShow.com/podcasts/230722

The myths and misconceptions are too numerous to list here. But Daniel and I covered many of them in our conversation. You can listen to learn some of them, or you can buy the book to learn them all. In it, Daniel Haulman tells the true story of America's first Black military pilots whose truth is better than the fiction.
