2  During World War II, in a segregated military, the Tuskegee Airmen distinguished themselves among aviators. These African- American aviators flew as fighter escort and protection on bombing runs. Their record of over 200 combat missions without losing a single bomber shows why they were respected by the American military and feared by the enemy. Short History of the Tuskegee Airmen

3  996 pilots and more than 15,000 ground personnel who served with the all-black units  Earned over 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses for their achievements.  The Tuskegee Airmen helped pave the way for the eventual integration of the U.S. armed forces under President Harry Truman in 1948. Airman Luther Smith

5  The Navajo Code uses a combination of acronyms and word replacements.  Plain text when encrypted could be spelled out in English and for each letter acronyms would be used.  Most commonly used military terms and key subjects would be with a symbolic word. Navajo Code Talkers WWII

6  If the plain text is ‘Drop.’ It would be translated into English cipher text first: D -> Deer R -> Rabbit O -> Owl P -> Pant

7 Deer = BE Rabbit = GAH Owl = NE-AHS-JAH Pant = CLA-GI-AIH The resulting transmission: BE GAH NE-AHS-JAH CLA- GI-AIH

8  Not all words are transmitted in such a way.  Entire words are replaced with Navajo words that have a different literal meaning.  Since it is a spoken language and it does not have words that directly correspond to modern warfare and military terms, words in the traditional language are used to represent modern terms and names.  For example:  'tank' would be referred to as a 'turtle‘  'submarine' would be referred to as 'iron fish'  'bombs' (carried on aircraft) would be called 'eggs'.

9  With a partner, write out a sentence using 8- 12 words relating in some way to WWII.  Note that there are no numbers in the dictionary, so they would have to be spelled out.  Names of people would also have to be spelled out.  Now encode your message, using one line per word and using the alphabet for any words not in the dictionary.
