RIP. Army Air Corps!
 Associated Press Published: August 21, 2008 Sherman Rose, a former flight instructor for the Tuskegee Airmen has died in Dothan. He was 88. Rose was among the first African-Americans to receive pilot training from the U.S. government. He died Wednesday at Southeast Alabama Medical Center. The Tuskegee Airmen were an all-black unit trained at Moton Field and helped break racial barriers while gaining fame escorting bombers in World War II. Rose also served as a flight instructor at Fort Rucker for 20 years.
