Blountstown’s own Cornelius Davis, shown here with his daughter, Angela, is receiving some widespread attention following the release of the movie “Red Tails”.


As explained in previous features in The County Record, Davis, 90, served as a Tuskegee Airman during World War II. The movie tells the story of the first group of black pilots to serve our country. Davis served as a member of this team, arming the gunners. We are proud of you, Mr. Davis, and honored to have you as a Calhoun County citizen!

Thank you Mr. Davis for being one of the bravest Black men that every lived. I pray that you have lived a good life and will continue to do so for the next 90. I pray that God continue to bless your life and that of your family. I pray you family realize what a great man you are. I don't know you personally, but I love you for you and for what you did for Black men all over the world. I have one version of the Tuskegee Airmen, but I plan to see "Red Tails" very soon. Again, thank you for being a real American.
