Default Re: Two black units during World War II

What about the Tuskagee airmen?
I think the article provided was discussing polar opposites, where all-black units (called colored back then) were concerned and not necessarily all of the black military formations. The successes of the two referenced units were diametically opposed, as was the leadership, with the 92 ultimately being pulled from the line, broken up and reformed.
