This past February the American Airpower Museum honored the pioneering 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, the first all black airborne battalion during World War Two. The unveiling began with an educational presentation by museum volunteer and living historian Nick Casseus  on the formation and operational achievement of the “Triple Nickel” as the unit became known.

The following are great articles as featured in the news following the events.
