New exhibit now open! DSU Aviation and the Tuskegee Airmen

Did you know that the DSU aviation program started in 1939? Did you also know that one of the graduates became a Tuskegee Airman? Come learn all about it from the newly installed exhibit DSU Aviation and the Tuskegee Airmen. 

The exhibit seeks to cast light on the lesser known facts of the university's aviation program as well as individuals with connections to both the university and aviation industry.  This includes our former president, Luna I. Mishoe, who unbeknownst to many, was an intelligence photographer with the Tuskegee Airmen in World War II!  Exhibit visitors will additionally learn about Brigadier General Ernest Talbert (USAF retired), Senior master sergeant Henry L. Smith, and Dr. Daniel E. Coons founder of the DSU airway science program. 

The exhibit's contents include items on loan from the DSU aviation program and the featured individuals, as well as historic photographs from the DSU archives collections. The exhibit will run through the end of the spring semester and is open to the public.  If you stop by, please be sure to sign the guestbook by thanking General Talbert, SMSgt Smith, Dr. Coons, and President Mishoe for their military service. 

Have you ever wanted to play with the buttons in a cockpit? Come try it out!

The event is open to the public, so I hope that you will join us in honoring where we have come from and where we, as a university, hope to go in the future.
