STORY REFUTES
RUM0R OF FLOP
BY SQUADRON
Tuskegee Trained Fliers
Aid British Fig nth
Army In Advance

WASHINGTON. - Refuting the
now dely-circulated rumor that
the all-Negro goth Pursuit Squadron
fizzled out in combat in Sicily and
Italy was an authentic report here
this week that the Tuskegee-trained
outfit has downed 50 Axis planes in
its eight months Of service over
seas.
The Chicago Defenders intorma-
ton on the 99th' record came from
highly reliable sources and was a
direct rely to slanderous articles
about the Goth such as one which
appeared in Time Magazine recent
ly
Informants told the Defender
bureau here that the goth had COM
pleted more than 700 missions and
is at present giving strong support
to the offensive OF the British
EIGHTH Army in Italy.
Whereas in the first stage OF their
work in European theatre. the Goth
was used mainly as bomber escorts
and as such had little opportunity
to mix with Nazi planes. today they
are doing both bombing and strait
ing and have had chance for head
on clashes with Messerschmidts and
Focke-Wulf 1905.
The new information from over
seas on the record OF the 99th comes
IN the wake OF many rumors which
indicate that the War Department
has had under consideration pro-
posals from high army officials for
the dropping completely Of the
training of Negro fliers However.
il is known that both President
Roosevelt and Secretary Of War
Stimson are strongly opposed to any
such drastic curtailment Of the air
corps program for Negroes
Among the stories which have
gained wide circulation Is one
which claims that a number Of
flioht leaders in the goth turned
tail" when faced with combat with
Nazis. These rumors have been de-
MED by several Of the S9th filters
who have returned.
II has been pointed out that re-
turning 99th fliers are being used
to groom members Of the 332nd
Fighter Group at Selfridge Field,
Mich. for overseas action which
certainly does not lend credence to
the stories Of their failure to stand
up in action
