McGee died peacefully in his sleep Sunday morning, a family spokesperson said.
“He had his right hand over his heart and was smiling serenely,” his youngest daughter Yvonne McGee said in a family statement.

McGee, a longtime resident of Bethesda, Maryland, flew 409 combat missions in conflicts from World War II to Vietnam

Another of the greatest generation gone. Thank you for your service.
I find it interesting that here was a gentleman who was discriminated against but still served. Contrast that today’s youth, black or white.

I once had the opportunity to shake hands with an elderly Tuskegee Airman in Maryland. Wonder if it was him.

Tuskegee Airman honored at Pres. Trumps State of the Union address and by NASA......
Ahead of the address, Trump promoted Charles McGee to Honorable Brigadier General.
