On the top of his list has been something directly connected to the Tuskegee Airmén that would expanded the story of the World War II heroes.

On Tuesday “The Spirit of Tuskegee” arrived. The museum received a PT-13 Stearman, an open cockpit biplane that was used by the airmen during training at Moton Field. “I knew it was terribly important to tell this story but I didn’t want to do it the same way they do at the National Air and Space Museum. They have done it well,” said Bunch."
