despite not having alot of aces, or top aces (i think they had at least 1 ace)

but anyways, aces don't mean anything, in terms of flight, they were the most skillful pilots in the war

agree or disagree

they were better then there white counterparts
 
well i dont know much about them to make an educated guess . just what i saw in the movie. which i may add was brilliant.
 
They were the only ones that never lost a bomber.
 
No. They were normal pilots, not better, not worse. The U.S. public is still flooded with guilt over the whole race issue, so pioneers like the Tuskeegee airmen are lauded well beyond their real capabilities.

And the "Never lost a bomber" thing, not true. It's an urban legend. It's been repeated so many times, it is believed as truth.
 
First black pilots, nothing more, nothing less. AFAIK.
