About This Design

African American Aviators Fighter Pilots of WW2  Jigsaw Puzzle

African American Aviators Fighter Pilots of WW2 Jigsaw Puzzle

The 332nd Fighter Group, including the 99th Fighter Squadron, played a pivotal role in Operation Husky, the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943. This group, primarily composed of African American pilots, faced significant challenges due to racial segregation and discrimination. Despite these obstacles, they proved their exceptional skills and bravery in combat. - The 99th Fighter Squadron, flying P-40 Warhawk fighters, provided critical air support during the invasion. They successfully escorted bombers, conducted strafing runs, and engaged enemy aircraft. Their contributions were invaluable to the success of the operation. - The achievements of these African American pilots were groundbreaking. They shattered racial stereotypes, demonstrated their capabilities as skilled aviators, and paved the way for the integration of the U.S. military. Their legacy continues to inspire and empower future generations of Black Americans to pursue careers in the military and other fields. - The success of the 332nd Fighter Group and the 99th Fighter Squadron had a profound impact on the experiences of Black Americans in the military. It challenged the prevailing notion that African Americans were not capable of serving in combat roles. Their accomplishments opened doors for future generations of Black Americans to serve in various roles within the military, including combat positions. - WPA image in Public Domain.

I really love this as a gift option because it has the tin to match so it can be neatly stored away. The only complaint I have is the pieces fit together really well- almost too well- a few times I was over confident and had the wrong piece in the wrong place. The colors were a great match to the original design.

Zazzle made my project a success. Everything came just in time for the occasion. The puzzles were super nice. No bleeding, puzzle cut very percise, and easy to put together. I would definitely recommend this puzzle to my friends. Excellent! I had a lot of lettering on the puzzle and they all came out just right! I framed my puzzle as a gift to me to remember.

I had been asked to write a poem for this couple's wedding. It was about comparing life and love to a jigsaw puzzle, so having this puzzle made for their gift was perfect. I was pleased with the ease of ordering, and it came just as they had stated, both in quality and time. I would recommend for any special occasion. I am planning one for my friends' 40th Anniversary. As it was a gift, I did not open the tin, but the picture on the tin came out great.
