SUMMARY:Mighty Talks: Forgotten Souls with Cheryl Thompson
DESCRIPTION:The National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force’s monthly Mighty Talk series continues with Forgotten Souls: The Search for the Lost Tuskegee Airmen\, with award-winning investigative journalist and author Cheryl Thompson. This program will take place on October 10th at 11:00 am at the museum.\n\nThe program is free to the public\, but please register at https://forms.gle/1QdpqEfAkJvJDzh76\nAbout the Presentation\nThe Tuskegee Airmen are legendary. These African American military aviators in the US Armed Forces earned high marks for their patriotism\, their combat records\, and their elite standards. Their contributions are now a vital part of African- American history\, and an important factor in America’s success during WWII. Yet many black pilots who served in the 332nd Fighter Group overseas never returned from their missions\, nor were they honored by the US government for their sacrifices for decades.\nForgotten Souls: The Search for the Lost Tuskegee Airmen examines the lives of the 27 pilots who went missing while battling the enemy abroad – and honors their lives\, their sacrifices\, and their legacy. This book serves as long overdue closure for the pilots who gave their lives.\n\nWith the help of family members to reconstruct the lives and legacies of these remarkable men who gave their lives\, Thompson has crafted a narrative testament to these true American heroes. Built upon the stories of children\, grandchildren\, and family who open their doors and hearts to the author to tell their precious family stories\, their most cherished memories and especially of their heartbreak\, she paints a poignant picture of a generation of survivors who themselves are vanishing\, who vividly remember those who never came back.\nForgotten Souls ensures that the sacrifices of these 27 lost Tuskegee Airmen are not lost to time.\n\nAbout the AuthorCheryl W. Thompson is an award-winning investigative correspondent for National Public Radio\, an associate professor of journalism at George Washington University\, and author of Forgotten Souls: The Search for the Lost Tuskegee Airmen.

SUMMARY:Mighty Talks: A Convenient Villain
DESCRIPTION:The National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force’s monthly Mighty Talk series continue with A Convenient Villain: Charles A. Lindbergh’s remarkable and controversial legacy preparing the U.S. for war\, with author Dr. Jonathan Reich\, M.D. This program will take place on October 25th at 2:00 pm at the museum.\n\nThe program is free to the public\, but please register  at https://forms.gle/3Bccw7F3QCoipusD8\n\nAbout the BookBetween 1936 and 1938\, Charles Lindbergh made 3 public trips to Nazi Germany. The military intelligence he collected was not only provided to the U.S. military but also to U.S. manufacturers of airplanes and their components. Lindbergh’s consultation with U.S. airplane manufacturers was entirely at his own initiative and expense. This book is the first to document the specific intelligence he acquired and how this information won the war.\n\nThis book re-evaluates the life and legacy of one of the most enigmatic and important political figures of the 20th Century: Charles Lindbergh. Much of Lindbergh’s contribution to American preparatory air power prior to World War II and medicine of the 1930s is unknown. Using his aerospace engineering background\, Dr. Reich combed through various archives to document these achievements. He also reviewed Lindbergh’s record opposing American entry into another European War to provide a new Jewish generational perspective on his advocacy and his conflict with American Jews.\n\nAbout the AuthorJonathan D. Reich\, M.D.\, is a cardiologist and faculty member at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine whose career has long been rooted in research. The author of numerous articles for medical journals\, Reich turned his attention to historical research during the COVID-19 pandemic after reading A. Scott Berg’s Lindbergh.\n\nDrawing on his research background and lifelong interest in aviation\, Reich began an in-depth study of Charles Lindbergh\, exploring the famed aviator’s complex legacy and contributions to aviation\, medicine and American preparedness for World War II. His research culminated in A Convenient Villain: Charles A. Lindbergh’s Remarkable and Controversial Legacy Preparing the U.S. for War.
