Many of the graduates joined four squadrons of the 332nd Fighter Group and served with distinction throughout World War II. The collection consists of individual and group portraits of members of the Tuskegee Airmen, and views of training exercises at Tuskegee, Alabama. Individuals depicted include Robert A. Decatur, Joseph D. Barrucker, and other members of the Tuskegee Airmen, Inc., North Coast Chapter.
