EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant piece of history - the Tuskegee Airman flight jacket worn by Lt. Col. Woodrow W. Crockett in 1942. The Tuskegee Airmen, a group of courageous African-American fighter and bomber pilots, played a crucial role in World War II. The Type A-2 leather jacket, crafted by Aero Leather Clothing Co. , exudes strength and resilience with its dark brown exterior and fabric lining. It features snap-flap patch pockets on either side of the waist-level zipper, along with knit cuffs and waistband for added comfort. Adorning the left breast are three stitched patches that tell a story of honor and achievement. The uppermost rectangular leather patch proudly bears Lt. Col. Crockett's name - [W. W. CROCKETT] - elegantly stamped in dark letters. Just below it lies another rectangular leather patch embossed with the US Army Air Forces pilot insignia; two feathered wings extending from a striped shield symbolize their dedication to protecting our nation. This remarkable artifact not only represents an era but also embodies the spirit of unity and bravery displayed by these trailblazing aviators during times of adversity. Displayed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this cherished item serves as a reminder of the immense contributions made by African Americans to our country's military heritage throughout history.
