This week park's photos are all about a little throwback to start the New Year off, with a little bit of trivia included.

Before the first African American military pilots became known as the "Red Tails" they wore striped tails as they began their flight training in the Army's PT-17 Stearman bi-plane.  Their flying adventure started at Moton Field, in Tuskegee, Alabama, where the Army Air Corps conducted a military test to determine if African Americans could be trained to fly combat aircraft. At the far left is Captain Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., the squadron commander, who went on to a long, successful career in the U.S. Airforce.
