Artifacts from the Tuskegee Airman Exhibit are displayed for visitors to view in the USAF Airman Heritage Training Complex, Aug. 10, at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. The exhibit interprets an actual moment during WWII when the 332nd Fighter Group, deployed to a forward military combat Airfield at Ramitelli, Italy, in 1945, was preparing to launch its famous long-range escort mission to Berlin for which they won a distinguished Unit Citation. Their purpose was to join in the fight of attacking Berlin. It was the most extended escort mission of the European Air protecting U.S. bombers from attacking enemy aircraft, including Messerschmitt 262 jet fighters. The museum's primary mission is to educate our Airmen on the history of the Air Force with particular emphasis on JBSA-Lackland. The secondary purpose is to educate, train, inspire and serve as a recruiting tool for the numerous civilian visitors of the facility. (U.S. Air Force photo by Sarayuth Pinthong)
