Mighty Eighth Air Force’s monthly Mighty Talk series continues
The National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force, 175 Bourne Avenue in Pooler, will continue its Mighty Talk series with “Forgotten Souls: The Search for the Lost Tuskegee Airmen,” with award-winning investigative journalist and author Cheryl Thompson. The program will be 11 a.m. on Oct. 10 at the museum. The program is free, but registration is required at https://tinyurl.com/3fdvxeat . The Tuskegee Airmen are legendary. These African-American military aviators in the U.S. Armed Forces earned high marks for their patriotism, their combat records and their elite standards. Their contributions are now a vital part of African-American history and an important factor in America’s success during World War II. Yet many black pilots who served in the 332nd Fighter Group overseas never returned from their missions, nor were they honored by the U.S. government for their sacrifices for decades. “Forgotten Souls: The Search for the Lost Tuskegee Airmen” examines the lives of the 27 pilots who went missing while battling the enemy abroad – and honors their lives, their sacrifices and their legacy. This book serves as long overdue closure for the pilots who gave their lives. Thompson is an award-winning investigative correspondent for National Public Radio and an associate
