Charles McGee
The
son of a preacher man, Charles McGee believed that education was the key
to equal opportunities for all races. He joined the Army Air Force at
a time when its policies reflected the belief that blacks were incapable
of succeeding in technologically complicated jobs. Without fanfare, McGee
and his fellow Tuskegee Airmen proved the bigots wrong. McGee fought in
three wars-WWII, Korea, and Vietnam-and racked up over 6300 flight hours
by the time he retired.
