The Caribbean, African and African-African American contribution in the 1940’s against the background of World War 2 is consistently over-looked and under-represented.

After defeating Hitler’s Nazi German tyranny, many of these RAF heroes also led the independence movement to break the colonial hold of the British Empire on their countries.
