Script Details

Script provided by the voice seeker:
Overview Narration:
When the Tuskegee Airmen were growing up, commercial aviation was not a field open to African Americans.
Here at Moton Field, young cadets were making history as the first African Americans to train for flying in the military. As even those with previous flying experience would discover, there was “a right way, a wrong way, and the army way.”
After 8-10 hours with an instructor, the cadets were expected to fly on their own.
At every step, there was the possibility of getting washed out of the program.
But the cadets persisted.

Oral Histories Narration:
George Illes was born in Quincy, Illinois, a small town along the Mississippi River. He read about Tuskegee’s pilot program in the Chicago Defender and the Pittsburgh Courier, two prominent black newspapers. Here he describes a typical day in primary training.
Lewis Lynch, a cadet from Ohio, was thrilled when he found out he had been accepted into the Army Air Corps’ pilot program. But learning to fly was not easy.
John Mulzac grew up in Brooklyn, NY. As a cadet, one of the first major hurdles he faced was flying solo. After getting bounced from instructor to instructor, he worried he might not solo within the required time.
Cadets in primary training spent 8-10 hours flying with an instructor before they were expected to solo. William Broadwater, from Pennsylvania, recalls that big moment could arrive without any warning.
Cadets came to Tuskegee from around the country. For Samuel Broadnax, who grew up in California, taking the train to Tuskegee was his first experience in the more blatantly segregated South.
Once at Tuskegee, Broadnax discovered that any mistake could result in being eliminated from the program. Sample of the script for audition purposes:
