Don't miss an opportunity to learn history directly from the heroes themselves. In honor of Black History Month, Fantasy of Flight is presenting "They Dared to Fly" as part of our Living History Symposium Series this Thursday-Saturday, February 18-20, 2010. Original Tuskegee Airmen will reunite to share their personal experiences of wartime military service during segregated America. |
