Harry Stewart Jr., one of the last remaining Tuskegee Airmen, died Feb. 2, 2025, at his home in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He was 100.
“As a pilot during World War II, he flew 43 missions and earned the Distinguished Flying Cross for downing three enemy aircraft while escorting bombers as part of the legendary Red Tails,” note officials with the CAF Red Tail Squadron. “In 1949, he was also part of the team that won the first-ever Top Gun trophy (USAF Gunnery Competition).”
