Ramitelli Airfield, Foggia Airfield Complex, Southern Italy, 1944. In the background of the P-51 Mustangs of USAAF’s 332nd Fighter Group, the “Red Tails”, one goat looking at the photograph while the other keeping quietly on graze: a not rare spectacle on the Italian airfields until some years ago. The 332nd FG, 12th Air Force, was the first USAAF’s unit composed solely by African American personnel, the famous “Tuskegee Airmen”. Victor Sierra
