Watched the movies Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick?

The first Top Gun competition was held in 1949. The white pilots  competed with the latest state of art aircraft while  the black pilots were forced to compete with older obsolete planes.
 
After X days of competition The Tuskegee Airmen team of : Captain Alva Temple, 1st Lieutenant Harry Stewart, 1st Lieutenant James Harvey, and 1st Lieutenant Halbert Alexander (alternate) were announced the winners. The official results for first place were recorded as “unknown” for nearly XX years.

There was dead silence in the room. Not one of their colleagues applauded this accomplishment.  The victory was swept under the rug and the trophy ‘went missing’ and was not seen by the public for XX years (until 2004).  Introducing the real Top Guns.

XX years after the historic win, the American Association of Retired Persons’ Wish of a Lifetime organization met with Harvey to grant his “wish” – that his team be widely recognized.
