At the dawn of World War II, the Civilian Aeronautics Authority invited a few historically Black colleges and universities to participate in the Civil Pilot Training program, including Lincoln University.

After training, several Lincoln alumni served at home and abroad as U.S. Army Air Corps Tuskegee airmen. Join Michelle Brooks as she tells the story of the program and the airmen.
