| Re: ASU - Tuskegee Airmen Tribute - Pics As well as this.......
This plane (well....not this ACTUAL plane....as it is diecast) was actually flown by Robert Williams (who died a few years ago). He was instrumental in the writing and getting HBO to do the movie "The Tuskegee Airmen." James Bowman, one of the Tuskegee airmen that signed my model actually went to the same grade school and grew up with Robert Williams in Iowa. I thought it was very fitting to have his signature on "Dutchess Arlene." [Additionally for any of you 1/6th guys, I also got them to autograph a NRFB GI Joe Tuskegee Fighter Pilot figure.] |
