On Wednesday, 2 September, Tuskegee Airman, General and 3-war combat pilot Charles McGee will be interviewed live as part of the Old Guys and Their Airplanes "Debrief" series. This is an historic interview! It's a wonderful and especially rare opportunity for anyone learn history from someone who was "up close and personal" with WWII, racial segregation and the transition of many generations of Americans.
General McGee served in WWII, The Korean War and the Vietnam War, accumulating an astounding 409 combat missions. His civilian service is marked by extensive honors including the nation’s highest civilian award, The Congressional Gold Medal. Today, at age 100, he remains an active role model to youth, promoting his mantra of personal success, “Perceive, Prepare, Perform and Persevere.”
The live interview is FREE TO THE PUBLIC with special emphasis on encouraging teachers and group leaders to tune-in. To this point, the 2 September interview with General McGee will be conducted during the 'school time' - 9am Pacific, 10am Mountain, 11am Central and Noon Eastern.
