Donald Trump DEI order sees female and black WWII pilots cut from air force training

Advertisements

Among the material removed from the curriculum are lessons on the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of around 1,000 black pilots who were trained at a segregated air base in Alabama between 1941 and 1946.

They flew hundreds of patrol and attack missions during the war, escorting American bombing crews over Europe.

Lessons on Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, have also been removed from lesson plans, an official confirmed.

The female pilots were vital in transporting new planes bound for fighting in Europe from the factories where they were produced. Their contribution was later recognised with the right to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery, which is reserved for military personnel.
