Private First class
Albert Henriques


Albert Henriques  Born: November 19, 1925

US Army Air Corps; 337th Bomb Squadron, Private First-Class
Service # 42075406. February 1942, to November 1946


Mr. Henriques lived in Harlem when Pearl Harbor was attacked in December of 1941. Albert and several fellow college students were drafted into the United States Army Air Corps. After what seemed like months of testing and exams, Mr. Albert Henriques and about 250 other men of color were selected to join the Tuskegee Experiment.

He and his fellow soldiers were recruited from all over the country. He soon realized that he and these men were selected from 1000’s and 1000’s of candidates. Alber was fortunate to have had some prior college experience. He knew right away the competition was going to be tough. Besides the academic challenges, Mr. Henriques and fellow men of color would endure racism and Jim Crow laws in the South.

Ultimately, Albert became a highly trained B-17G Bomber engine mechanic.

The storied history of the Tuskegee airmen, their aircrews and the men that kept them flying brought these men to Nebraska, Wyoming and Alabama and Mississippi, before they fought in the skies over Europe.

After the War Mr. Henriques would return to college and finish his Bachelor and Master’s degrees and go on earn a degree in Architecture from the Parsons School of Design.
