Chapter History
The Alfonza W. Davis Chapter of *Tuskegee Airmen, Incorporated (TAI) in Omaha was founded in May of 1988 by a group headed by Bobby McGlown. The chapter was named after Alfonza W. Davis,
(view biography), an Omaha Tuskegee Airman who was killed in action during World War II.
Chapter Objectives
The chapter's objectives are first to bring together all persons of the military and civilian communities to learn of the aspirations, frustrations, and successes of pioneering men and women in military aviation. Additionally we conduct historical research and documentation of the achievements of those Tuskegee Airmen who served our country. Finally, we inspire our youth to outstanding achievement and leadership through social and educational activities.
