"Fly Boys: Western Pennsylvania's Tuskegee Airmen" covers the "Tuskege e Airmen Experiment", a military experiment to see if Black men were c apable of flying complicated engines of war. The airmen flew fighter a nd bomber planes during World War II and were trained at Tuskegee, Ala bama. These are the stories of the men who lived through the experienc e as well as from family members who remember them. Plus, some white p ilots tell how they owe their survival to the heroics of this group of men. The Tuskegee Airmen included pilots, navigators, bombardiers, ma intenance and support staff, instructors and all the personnel who kep t the planes in the air. This is not to be confused with the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment.
