Willie Rogers (April 12, 1915 – November 18, 2016) (WIA) was a member of the famed group of World War II-era African-Americans known as the Tuskegee Airmen.

[4] Rogers arrived at the Dachau concentration camp in Germany shortly after it was liberated by American troops April 29, 1945.

However after his death historians were unsure about Rogers place in the history of the Tuskegee airmen.

Because Rogers never talked about his service until 2012, the story of his participation with the 100th Fighter Squadron was retold over and over.

[5] He returned to Florida after WWII and opened Rogers’ Radio Sales and Service in St. Petersburg.
