Here is a little history for individuals who are fans of the movies Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick.
The first Top Gun competition was held in 1949.
The caucasian pilots competed with the latest state of art aircraft, while the African-American pilots were forced to compete with the much older, obsolete planes.
After 3 days of competition, the Tuskegee Airmen team of : Captain Alva Temple, 1st Lieutenant Harry Stewart, 1st Lieutenant James Harvey, and 1st Lieutenant Halbert Alexander (alternate) were announced the winners.
There was dead silence in the room.
Not one of their colleagues applauded this accomplishment.
The victory was swept under the rug, and the trophy was not seen by the public for 55 years.
