Tuskegee Airman fighter pilot Lt. Col. James Harvey shares the group's triumphs and their now-recognized place in history. MORE ⬇️
Wearing each medal with pride, 100-year-old Lt. Col. James Harvey has seen the world from a vantage point few have experienced.
In 1949 Harvey and his fellow airmen took those skills to the first Top Gun competitions and won their category, despite their outdated aircraft. In 2022, the military recognized that victory. "If you're a fighter pilot you can never feel afraid. You better stay on the ground," he said with a grin on his face.
Traveling the country and telling his story, his family, including son-in-law Ron Green, are working to make sure Harvey's legacy and that of those who donned the famous red jacket lives on.
