#natgeo - The Last Voices of World War II. Harry T. Stewart, Jr. U.S. Airman. A handcrafted model of a #p51mustang holds powerful memories for Stewart, who flew 43 #combatmissions in just such an airplane. The grandson of a man born into slavery in Alabama, Stewart shot down three enemy aircraft while escorting American bombers and was awarded the #distinguishedflyingcross (By 1946 more than 1.2 million #africanamericans were serving in Europe, the Pacific and on the home front.) #worldwarii #wwii #usarmyairforce #ushistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CBbNMc7FERN/?igshid=zk2kql96zxkw
