Young African American men came to Tuskegee from all over the nation to train as military pilots. They began with primary flight training at Tuskegee Institute's Moton Field. Tuskegee Institute also had a smaller field, Kennedy Field, where some cadets received orientation flights in Piper J-3 "Cub" during preflight training. Cadets who successfully completed primary training at Moton Field transferred to Tuskegee Army Air Field, seven miles away, for basic and advanced flight training conducted by the Army Air Forces. Only Moton Field remains.
