How were African Americans in World War 2 treated differently than white men?

They didn't fare well. Discrimination was through out the services and they weren't allow to do many things. The one group that comes to mind is the Tuskegee airmen in WW2. They formed 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the Army Air Force. Their nickname was Red Tails. Although they trained with the North American B-25 Mitchell bombers they never saw combat. These men were the first African American military aviators in the United States armed forces. During the war black Americans were subject to Jim Crow laws, were segregated in the military.


How many wings did a world war 1 blimp have?

Blimps,l being lighter than air do not have wings, they have elevators or elevons and rudders like ships. in fact the operation of a blimp- with up and down and lateral steering handled by different operators- and also ballast tanks- is far closer to a submarine than a conventional aircraft- hence the Naval involvement and the nickname Flying Submarines. some Airships, Blimp and rigid, had triplane tails in World war one, possibly as a damage-control measure if one was damaged by AA fire. These were broad enough, but were not wings, RAF (Target) blimps, so called because of the target- like RAF roundel-painted on the nose, had this configuration. One was featured in one of the episodes o (Enemy Ace) where Von Hammer"s squadron successfully attack a British Blimp- but, well, read the story to see the plot twists! some blimps had fore-and-aft diaplanes- again showing a resemblance to a submarine. there was a design for a White Russian airship (Unbuilt) that had Four or six pairs of diaplanes which one layman might call wings- this craft was , owing to the induced dynamic lift- probably able to cruise at close to l00MPh, the Hindenberg was rated at 78 M.P.H. in high setting. alas the White Russian airships did not go beyond the design stages but made nice illustration in aircraft magazines in the twenties and are occasionally reprinted. Floreat Anastasia!


Why was the P-51 Mustang the best plane in World War 2?

The Tuskegee Airmen were brought into active combat duty in 1943, the same year as the P-51 was adopted. While the Red Tails were initially equipped with older model planes, by the time they were in active combat, the P-51 Mustang was the premier fighter the USAAF had, replacing almost all other light fighters in active combat.
