Greetings
I was wondering if their was a all African American Bomber Group in WW2 ?

The tuskegee airmen flew B-25's as well as fighters. I am not sure of the combat history of the B-25 units.

Did the Tuskegee airmen B-25's also have Bold Red Tails too ?

I don't think, but I am researching that right now.

If I remember correctly the B-25 group never saw combat. I think they were based at Selfridge but not 100% on that. I actually met a gentleman who flew with that group a few years back at Sun & Fun, Bill Broadwater, very nice guy.
