Ok, but it was still a segregated military. Even in the documentary I saw, the actual members said they faced tons of skepticism that blacks could fight, and regardless it America was very racist back then.

You could argue the leadership that set that squadron up might not have cared if it were desegregated, but because of the climate of the time, just like any other section the military in general was still segregated.
