Episode Notes:

Patrick welcomes Dr. Daniel Haulman, one of the foremost historians of the Tuskegee Airmen and a longtime historian with the Air Force Historical Research Agency. Haulman explains how the primary-source records led him to correct enduring myths about the Tuskegee Airmen, why getting the facts right honors their legacy rather than diminishes it, and what today's airmen should take from their story.
