The Tuskegee airmen are great and all but...one would think that they and the Navajo Indian code talkers were to the most decisive elements in the war given the amount of publicity and writing they get these days.

My sister is in Iraq and she said they the Air Force flew over a couple of the original Tuskeegee Airmen and she got to sit and talk with one for a little while. Pretty cool.
