Answer: False

Explanation:

The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of African-American and Caribbean-born military pilots who fought in World War II. They formed the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the United States Army Air Forces.

Beginning in mid-1943, 450 Tuskegee Airmen pilots served in overseas combat in 332d Fighter Group, flying 15,533 combat sorties. Forty percent of the pilots became casualties: 66 were killed during combat, 84 died in training or non-combat missions, and 32 were captured after being shot down. Against these losses, 332d Fighter Group's pilots shot down 112 enemy aircraft, including three German Me-262 jet fighters in a single mission (March 24, 1945).
