Civil Air Patrol Lessons
A number of Civil Air Patrol lessons highlight the achievements of Black aviation and space pioneers. We have listed some below with links to each lesson.
Stories and achievements of the Tuskegee Airmen are found in a middle school school. (cover pictured).
CAP is connecting the past with the future by embracing and perpetuating the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen via this middle school book featuring some of these famed heroes. It is hoped that young people will be motivated to succeed after reading the inspirational personal and professional stories of this unique group of individuals. From pilots to aviation mechanics, the Tuskegee Airmen influenced our nation and the world. See a sample lesson on Gen. Chappie James HERE. The book is available in CAP's member portal, eServices/Aerospace Education/AE Downloads and Resources,. Find out more about the Tuskegee Airmen at Tuskegee Airmen, Inc.
