Army Air Corps Staff Sgt. Leslie
Edwards, a Tuskegee Airman of the 617th Bombardment Squadron visits
Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska during October 2017 and
shares his service history.
The 617th Bombardment Squadron was one
of four Tuskegee Airmen bomber squadrons during World War II that
made up the 477th Bombardment Group. In 2007, the 477th Bombardment
Group became the 477th Fighter Group, bringing with it the legacy of
Tuskegee airmen to Alaska.
