Brown developed an interest in becoming a pilot in hisyouth. After graduating from high school, he applied to the military to becomea pilot. He was underweight so he was instructed to gain weight. After gainingweight to reach the 128.75 pound threshold he was accepted to the TuskegeeInstitute for flight training. While he had experienced some racialdiscrimination in Minnesota, Brown was upset by having to aoffere by Jim Crowsegregation practices when off-base in Alabama. He limited his exposure toracism by spending most of his time in local black communities. At 19 years old, on May 23, 1944, Brown graduated fromflight school as a 2nd Lieutenant. During a strafing mission over Germany he encountered aGerman Messerschmitt Me 262 and pursued it, attempting to shoot it down.In 1945, Brown was flying a P-51C east of Bruck, Austria. His flight path tookhim over anti-aircraft emplacements, where he crashed after shrapnel from adestroyed German cargo train hit his plane. He was surrounded by Austrian andGerman citizens who then attempted to lynch him, before a German constableintervened and took him to a prisoner of war camp for two months. He was one of32 of the Tuskegee Airmen to be captured during the war. Shipping is donewithin 24 hours of received payment.
