Luftwaffe Called Them 'Red Tailed Devils' — The Tuskegee Airmen Never Lost a Bomber

March 24, 1945: Captain Roscoe Brown shoots down a German Me-262 jet over Berlin—one of the first Allied pilots to destroy Germany's revolutionary jet fighter. Brown is a Tuskegee Airman, flying with the 332nd Fighter Group. His unit—all Black pilots the Army Air Forces said couldn't fly "complex aircraft"—has achieved what no other fighter group accomplished: zero bombers lost to enemy fighters under their escort. 200+ missions. Zero losses. This is how the Tuskegee Airmen silenced every critic. #tuskegeeairmen #332ndFighterGroup #WWII #redtails #aviationhistory 0:00 - Cold Open: Shooting Down a Jet Over Berlin 2:30 - The Experiment: Tuskegee Training Program 7:30 - Combat Deployment: North Africa and Italy 12:00 - The Red Tails: Bomber Escort Tactics 15:30 - March 24, 1945: The Berlin Mission 18:30 - The Record: Zero Bombers Lost PRIMARY SOURCES 1.Francis, Charles E.
