Air Force Cancels Then Uncancels Training About Tuskegee Airmen & WASPs

[Jonathan Whatley]

Interesting stories have been identified about the Tuskegee Airmen, some non-fiction and some fictionalized, and the market has been interested in those stories. At this Air Force base, one retelling was used to teach something about the Air Force generally, until now.

There are countless compelling and popular stories set in real everyday military units or in fictional military units that are abstracted from real everyday military units.

It's not as if a merit-based process would have decided which was the historical Air Force unit with the greatest contribution, and that unit would have been the subject of a video at this training session, but for the choice of the Tuskegee Airmen being a quota hire that stole the position.
