Retired Lt. Col. Harry Stewart Jr, one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen, has died. He was 100. Stewart was one of the last surviving combat pilots of the famed 332nd Fighter Group who were the nation's first military pilots.

Harry Stewart Jr. would survive World War II as one of only four Tuskegee Airmen with three air-to-air victories in a single day, leading a storied Air Force career before leaving active duty in 1950.

Stewart was one of the few remaining veterans who flew with the all-Black Tuskegee Airmen in World War II, during which troops were segregated by race. Stewart died “peacefully” in his home, the Tuskegee Airmen National Historical Museum said in a Facebook post Monday announcing his death.
