Benjamin O. Davis was the commander of the Tuskegee Airmen. Davis overcame the racial segregation and unfair treatment that he receved in college and continued to become perhaps one of the greatest military leaders in World War II. Benjamin O. Davis wanted to serve in the Air Force, but was prevented from doing so by segregation laws. Eventually, there was a need for more pilots, and the nation resulted to forming an African American unit. Davis led this unit, the Tuskegee Airmen, and helped train his fellow airmen to become some of the most skilled pilots in the war. He would go on to help President Truman end segregation in the air force in 1948, and he was the first ever African American two star major general. 

Eleanor Roosevelt served as the First Lady of the United States from March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945 where she heavily influenced social change for the African American and feminist community. One of the ways that she helped influence segregation was the Tuskeegee Airmen Expirement through Public Law 18. The law allowed for the expansion of the Air Force to allow African American fighters. The first of these squadrons created was the Tuskeegee Airmen. She was heavily invested in the squadron; in fact, she even took a flight with Charles Anderson, also known as the "Father of Black Aviation". She maintained a long term relationship with the squadron and publicly supported their sucess. 

Franklin D. Roosevelt served as the 32nd President of the United States from 1933 till 1945. During his presidency, he was a big advocate for social change for the African American community similar to his wife. He passed the 18th Public Law and also supported the Tuskeegee Airmen. He was extremely influential in their success and formation by publicly supporting them and also maintaining a long term relationship with the squadron. His support and the formation of the Tuskeegee Airmen would help kickstart the civil rights movement and bring peace and justice for the African American community in the United States.
