Trump's executive order halting DEI means the Air Force no longer teaches recruits about WWII's Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots.

A video on the pioneering Black pilots, famed for their World War II exploits, was stripped from an Air Force basic training curriculum this week.

Donald Trump's move to block diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives has led to the US Air Force removing material on the role of black and female pilots during World War Two from its training programmes.

The Tuskegee Airmen were the nation's first Black military pilots. They served in a segregated unit during World War II and completed over 1,500 missions.
