Limited Edition of 860 Pieces This limited edition timepiece chronicles the heartwarming story of Captain Matthew Quy and his wife Tina, who acquired and restored a vintage Stearman biplane. To their astonishment, they discovered it was one of the surviving planes used to train the Tuskegee Airmen. Renamed "Spirit of Tuskegee," the Quys passionately flew the plane to air shows, educating people about the Airmen's history. 10% of the net sales from each Tuskegee Airmen Limited Edition timepiece to support TAI's youth programs and educational initiatives.
