The first African American pilots began flying combat missions out of Morocco in 1943—a task just as difficult and grueling as the fight they went through at home to become airmen. This poster features one of the famous Tuskegee aviators, Major R. Diez, encouraging people to buy war bonds. Diez flew 93 successful missions with the 99th Pursuit Squadron over North Africa and Italy, including several missions in which he took down German Luftwaffe in his P-40 Tomahawk.
