Funny thing about the Tuskeegees. Several Southern senators did their level damnedest to scotch the whole Tuskeegee Experiment from the git-go. When they failed, they used their influence and the collaboration of many senior officers, also mostly from the South, to set the qualifying score on the flight exam much higher for blacks than for whites, which they could do because racial discrimination was legal and normal in the 1940s.
(I have no doubt that this simple historical fact will earn another hysterical screeching fit from Dix.)
Anyway, to quote the friend who was first to arrive after Sid Vicious stabbed Nancy to death, "This is a serious f*ck-up."
In their determination to make the Tuskeegee Experiment fail, all they did was ensure that the men accepted were super-pilots.
The rest, as they say, is history, though it sure as shootin' won't make it into a conservative's history book.
