CAP’s George Boyd one of Tuskegee airmen, like those featured in current ‘Red Tails’ movie

KANSAS — The current movie, “Red Tails,” tells the story of the Tuskegee airmen, a group of pilots in World War II. They were unique because of the color of their skin and the obstacles they faced simply getting into combat. You could argue they fought on two fronts: against the Germans and Japanese in the war and against racism at home. George Boyd, 86, of Wichita knows the story far better than most.  He lived it.  Boyd, now a Civil Air Patrol colonel, tells his Tuskegee airmen story in this feature article on msnbc.com.
