Color Description
Tuskegee Red is a flat, bold red with slight blue undertones, capturing the tone used on the tail sections of fighter planes flown by the Tuskegee Airmen.

• Featured prominently on P-51D Mustangs flown by the 332nd Fighter Group
• Used in escort missions over Europe during WWII to protect U.S. bomber groups
• Symbolizes a major chapter in African American and U.S. military aviation history
