"The Anderson-Forsythe long-distance flights attracted worldwide attention and greatly popularized aviation in the African American community," the African American Registry reports on its website. He put the wind beneath the wings of the famed Tuskegee Airmen, only after fighting for the right to fly on his own a decade earlier. One of the men on the Berlin mission, Colonel Benjamin O. Davis Jr., went on to become the first brigadier general in the U.S. Air Force (formed from the Army Air Corps in 1947). He taught himself to fly in the 1920s and became chief flight instructor at the Tuskegee Institute in World War II. Anderson's greatest contribution to the nation was helping prove old stereotypes wrong. The military today may provide the most accurate depiction of the American people more diverse than the halls of Congress, more integrated than the ivory towers of academia.
