On March 7, 1942, the first class of cadets graduated from Tuskegee Army Air Field to become the nation's first African American military pilots. Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. retained his rank as Captain, and four others graduated with the rank of 2nd Lieutenant.
Most big papers, including the New York Times and the Atlanta Constitution made no mention of her flight in March and April of 1941. The Montgomery Advertiser is the closest daily to Tuskegee, and it did not report the flight, but it did have a couple of stories about Mrs. Roosevelt being in Tuskegee. In the spring of 1941, the first African-American enlisted men began training to become maintainers and the first thirteen pilot candidates entered training.
