About This Design

African American Aviators Fighter Pilots of WW2  Magnet

African American Aviators Fighter Pilots of WW2 Magnet

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.

Flexible Photo Magnet,4" x 6"
Zazzle Reviewer Program
The 4X6 flexible, photo magnets are very sturdy and high quality. I especially like the rounded edges. Unfortunately, the cuts of the edges are a bit rough and jagged, which you can see in the photo, below. The edges can be trimmed with very sharp scissors but you do risk making the edges uneven. The printing on this project was a little bit fuzzy, the cause of which may be something on my end. I intend to contact customer service to see if there's anything I might do to improve the crispness of the image or if the issue lies with the printing, itself. Also, the product is just a bit darker than the original. Again, I intend to troubleshoot this, with customer service, to be sure where the issue lies.
