Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site, at Moton Field in Tuskegee, Alabama, commemorates the contributions of African-American airmen in World War II. Moton Field was the site of primary flight training for the pioneering pilots known as the Tuskegee Airmen, and is now operated by the National Park Service to interpret their history and achievements. It was constructed in 1941 as a new training base. The field was named after former Tuskegee Institute principal Robert Russa Moton, who died the previous year.

Such an amazing place. You must go if you are near. Great history. So much more than i thought. Cool to walk the road into the base where amazing men and women made history in the 1940s. The staff were super informative and helpful. Loved the layout of the museums, the artifacts, the videos and the accounts from members. Loved this place!!!
