为什么MD没有黑人战斗机飞行员？

Shawna Kimbrell, first black female fighter pilot

Major Shawna Rochelle Kimbrell is the first female African-American fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force. As a child, Kimbrell wanted to become an astronaut, but later changed her mind.

"I fell in love with the idea of the freedom of flying and after my first flight lesson at age 14, I never looked back," Kimbrell said in a 2008 interview on the U.S. Air Force website. She also spoke about achieving an African-American first: "It is an important step for progression and although I am not fond of the spotlight, I think it is important for people to know that this barrier has been breached. Especially for the African-American community and for women to know what types of opportunities are available to them."

While women gained admittance to the U.S. Air Force pilot training program in 1976, it was only in 1993 that they were permitted to train as fighter pilots, per the order of the U.S. Secretary of Defense.

Kimbrell graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1998 and earned her pilot wings a year later. She continued to push herself in an effort to become a fighter pilot.
"I was in constant competition with myself, trying to do better, to make the grade," Kimbrell said in the Air Force interview.

Kimbrell's military decorations include the Army Commendation Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the Korean Defense Service Medal.

In 2008, when Kimbrell received the distinction as the first female African-American fighter pilot, the Air Force had more than 14,000 pilots. Of those, 3,700 were fighter pilots and just 70 fighter pilots were women. Her first operational assignment was to Misawa Air Base, Japan.

"The turning point in my career was when I arrived at Misawa. It was like a whole new world of options opened up to me," Kimbrell said in the Air Force interview. "I flew my first combat sortie in 2001 in Operation Northern Watch. The sorties were actually anti-climactic, until I recognized that people were actually shooting at us."

General Benjamin Oliver Davis Jr.

Benjamin O. Davis, an aviation pioneer, is one of the most famous Tuskegee Airmen of World War II. However, his military career spanned five decades and three wars. He was the first African-American officer in the Army Air Forces, and was a member of the first African-American pilot-training class at Tuskegee Army Airfield in Alabama.

He was born in December 1912 in Washington, D.C., the son of an Army officer who later became the Army's first African-American brigadier general. Davis was the first African-American to graduate from West Point (Class of 1935) in this century. His four years there were not pleasant. Because he was black, he was officially "silenced" by all cadets--no one spoke to him for four years except on official business; he roomed alone and he had no friends.

He served in the infantry and taught military science at Tuskegee until May 1941 when he transferred to the Air Corps. He earned his wings in March 1942. Because of the war and his ability, promotion followed rapidly. As a lieutenant colonel in 1942, six months shy of his 30th birthday, Davis assumed command of Tuskegee Army Air Base's 99th Fighter Squadron, the oldest and most famous unit of the Tuskegee Airmen, first in North Africa and later to Sicily. He flew P-40s in combat, and came home in October 1943 to take command of the 322nd Fighter Group. Two months later the 322nd were in Italy where his group flew the P-51 Mustang providing escort missions for bombers. In the spring of 1945 Davis led a squadron of fighters on a hazardous mission against airfields in southern Germany and was awarded a Silver Star.

Segregation ended in the services in 1948 with a presidential decree. Davis then attended Air War College, served in the Pentagon, where he gained approval to create the Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration team. He was sent to Korea in 1953 to command a fighter wing. The following year he received his first star and moved to the Philippines as vice commander of the Thirteenth Air Force.

Davis served two tours in Germany with Twelfth Air Force and at Headquarters U.S. Air Forces in Europe. He returned to the United States and held various staff assignments until he returned to the Philippines as commander of the 13th Air Force, Clark Air Force Base.

His last assignment was at MacDill AFB, Fla., as deputy commander in chief, U.S. Strike Command, with additional duty as commander in chief, Middle-East, Southern Asia and Africa.

He retired from the service Feb. 1, 1970. His military decorations include the Air Force Distinguished Service Medal, Army Distinguished Service Medal, Silver Star, Legion of Merit with two oak leaf clusters, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal with four oak leaf clusters, Air Force Commendation Medal with two oak leaf clusters and the Philippine Legion of Honor. He wrote his autobiography, Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., American: An Autobiography (Washington, D.C.: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1991), an account of his experiences at West Point and his commands.

He was advanced to general Dec. 9, 1998 by President Bill Clinton. Davis died July 4, 2002, at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington of Alzheimer's disease at age 89.

美国官方的说法是，美国人中黑人占大约1/10，所以，飞行员里也是黑人占1/10。所以少见。

因为飞行员需要较高的文化和生理及心里素质，而黑人普遍素质较低所以比例较低！

独立日里驾驶大黄蜂击落外星战机的威尔史密斯不就是黑人么？

楼猪太自大鸟，歧视

楼主确实已经OUT了。{:3_98:}

The first class of black pilots completed pilot training on March 6, 1942, at Tuskegee Army Air Field, in Tuskegee, Ala. Of the 13 original cadets, five graduated (from left): Capt. Benjamin O. Davis Jr., 2nd Lt. Lemuel R. Custis, 2nd Lt. George S. Roberts, 2nd Lt. Charles H. DeBow and 2nd Lt. Mac Ross.

The 99th Fighter Squadron, the first all-black fighter squadron, was formed before the attack on Pearl Harbor, which launched the United States into World War II in 1941. The first class of pilots graduated from flight training at Tuskegee Army Air Field in Tuskegee, Ala., on March 6, 1942. With more than 30 pilots, the squadron was declared combat-ready on Sept. 15.

The 99th Fighter Squadron finally deployed from Tuskegee to French Morocco in April 1943. Originally flying the P-40 Warhawk, the squadron began combat operations from Tunisia on June 2. While serving under the Twelfth Air Force, the 99th attacked enemy installations in Tunisia and Sicily and on the island of Pantelleria in the Mediterranean Sea. The defenders of Pantelleria, heavily bombarded from the air and sea, surrounded on June 11 before a land invasion was launched.

脸打的biabia的:D

二战中最优秀的护航战斗机部队。

这是赤果果的种族歧视啊…这脸打得……

楼主下次要勤搜索{:cha:}

美国 要是1/10是黑人，飞行员里可没这么高的比例，有肯定是有，相对少点

官方说法，当作某种气体一样～

肯定有啦。

不要以为你看的电影就是事实

还不如问问：美军有没有华裔的战机飞行员？

micshang 发表于 2010-4-12 20:47

我记得有个B2飞行员就是华裔。

试列出人类历史上由黑人创造的 伟大的文明,不朽的奇迹,推动人类前进的发名,或伟大的黑人思想家,科学家或哲学家或军事家.如果你能找出一个的话.
PS.不要把垃圾娱乐NBA或一个很快就会被忘记的前US某官员扯出来,他们只是历史的尿痕.

很遗憾，为什么有这么多带有种族歧视和种族偏见的人？
这样真的很不好，很不好！！！！！
