Tuskegee post office honors pilot instructor

Tuskegee airman and flight instructor C. Alfred “Chief” Anderson (1907-96) was honored with a United States 70¢ stamp issued March 13.

Nearly a month later, the Tuskegee, Ala., post office celebrated Anderson and the new stamp with a pictorial postmark and a dedication event at the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site.

Anderson served in the 1940s at the Tuskegee Institute with the role of expanding its pilot training program.
