Orlando Center unveiled Tuskegee Airmen Monument.

The Orlando Science Center organized an event on Veteran’s Day to unveil a new monument to the Tuskegee Airmen. The Tuskegee Airmen is the popular name of a group of African-American pilots who fought in World War II. Formally, they formed the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the United States Army Air Forces.
