Answer The Tuskegee airmen were trained at Tuskegee and formed into the 99th Pursuit Squadron. Later their group included 33rd , 324th, and 79th Fighter Groups and eventually the 332 Fighter Group that was stationed in Italy. They escorted bombers from the 15th Air Force on missions to Germany, Austria and Hungary. There were no US airmen stationed in Hungary.

The Tuskegee airmen lost 27 bombers which was far less than any other unit.
