Question

5. Why did bomber pilots request to fly with Red Tails?

a. They had gunned down the most enemy planes
b. They rarely abandoned their protective formation
c. They were the most experienced escort squadron
d. They were known for their skillful aerial maneuvers

Answer 1

Answer:B

Explanation:Before the Red tails arrived or African American pilots, White pilots would usually abandon their post and go after the kills rather then protecting the vulnerable bombers. But after the Red tails arrived, the Luftwaffe had a harder time aiming for the bombers because the red tails would rarely leave their posts and it’s hard to defend yourself from 2 P51 mustangs that is chasing you while your teammates are getting shot down
