- Title
Freeman Field Mutiny: Victory for Integration or Segregation?
- Authors
Haulman, Daniel
- Abstract
The article focuses on the Freeman Field Mutiny at Freeman Army Airfield near Seymour, Indiana in 1945. The Freeman Field Mutiny reportedly involved Tuskegee flyers who fought back against racism by a commanding officer which served as a catalyst for providing African American flying units with African American officers. The move raised the issue of whether it encouraged segregation or helped integration in the Air Force.
