    Ah, love! 
A midair courtship: Tuskegee’s historic love story…

Tuskegee, Alabama (CNN) — Herbert Carter and Mildred Hemmons had no time for dating in the early months of 1942.
He was training to become a member of the Tuskegee Airmen, the nation’s first military program for African-American pilots.
She was the bold, daring woman who caught his eye. At 18, she’d become the first black woman in Alabama to earn a pilot’s license. She had hopes of becoming a military pilot, too.
Flying was intoxicating. It provided Herbert and Mildred a sense of freedom — to be themselves, to dream big. The in-your-face racism of the segregated South was gone, if only for a while. In the air, the sky was literally the limit… [more]


STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Herbert Carter, Mildred Hemmons courted during his Tuskegee cadet training
She was the first female black pilot in Alabama
He was among original 33 Tuskegee pilots, eventually rose to lieutenant colonel
Married nearly 70 years, the two were known as Tuskegee’s “first couple”
