Moton Field in Tuskegee, Alabama, holds historical significance as the place where the first African American military pilots, known as the Tuskegee Airmen, began their flight training in the Army's PT-17 Stearman bi-plane.

As the birthplace of these pioneering aviators, Moton Field played a crucial role in the Army Air Corps' military test to determine if African Americans could be trained to fly combat aircraft, ultimately leading to the formation of the renowned Red Tails squadron.
