This link below came from a friend.  It is a follow up to the movie ‘Red Tails’ post.  This story is featured in a CNN Profile.

Herbert Carter, 94, one of the original 33 Tuskegee Airmen pilots, holds a portrait of his wife, Mildred Hemmon Carter, in her flight uniform.

Married nearly 70 years, the two were known as Tuskegee’s “first couple.”
