Haitian-Tuskegee Airman Receives Medal - April 6, 2010

More than 65 years ago, Raymond Cassagnol, was one of five Haitian-Tuskegee Airmen to earn his pilot wings at Tuskegee Army Air Field (Alabama). The first to graduate, Class 43-G (July 1943), today he is the last surviving Haitian-Tuskegee Airman. The efforts of Zellie Rainey Orr in February 2010 led to the location of Cassagnol and procurement of his medal. Videographer, 16 year old, Nia Haley Orr.
