Segregation in the southern states of America 1942



Arnold scheme pilot cadets were not expected to fraternise with the Afro-American personnel on the bases – maintenance and ground-crew, kitchen/dining room staff, etc. 

This had been part of the message at 'acclimatisation'. As with other expectations for the RAF contingent by the US Military, this seems to have been ignored by certain pilots u/t. This photogenic gent is probably now be well into his seventies!
