Benjamin O. Davis and Agatha S. Davis, Gift, various, 1992-0023
Arranged and described by Paul Silbermann, 2003; encoded into EAD, 2016.
Benjamin Oliver Davis, Jr. was born in Washington, DC on December 18, 1912, the second of three children born to Benjamin Oliver (Sr.) and Elnora Dickerson Davis. At that time Davis Sr.(1) was a First Lieutenant in the United States Army, having worked his way up from an enlisted cavalry trooper. Elnora Davis died from complications after giving birth to their third child (Elnora) in 1916 and three years later Davis Sr. married Sadie Overton, an English professor at Wilberforce University. Davis and his sisters lived with relatives in Washington while Davis Sr. completed his tour of duty in the Philippines with his new bride. The family was reunited in Tuskegee, AL when Davis Sr. taught military science and tactics at the Tuskegee Institute between 1920 and 1924. In 1924 Davis Sr. was assigned as an instructor to a federalized Ohio National Guard unit and the family moved to Cleveland, OH.
Davis finished his schooling in Cleveland, graduating from Central High School in 1929. He then attended Western Reserve University (1929-1930) and the University of Chicago (1930-1932) before gaining admission to the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. He graduated in the Class of 1936 and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Infantry.(2) Upon graduation, he married Ms. Agatha Scott, whom he had met and dated while at the Academy.
After serving in the infantry for several years Davis was posted to the newly-established Tuskegee Army Air Field, AL for pilot training in 1942. He graduated in the first class from the new flying school and was officially transferred to the Army Air Corps. In August 1942 he assumed command of the 99th Fighter Squadron, leading it in combat in North Africa and Sicily. The 99th Fighter Squadron was the first unit of "Tuskegee Airmen," as black(3) units in the segregated Army Air Forces (AAF) have come to be called. Two units of Tuskegee Airmen saw combat during World War II: the 99th Fighter Squadron and the 332d Fighter Group (composed of the 100th, 301st, and 302d Fighter Squadrons). Davis, promoted to Colonel in 1944, commanded both of these units in turn, leading the 99th and 332d in combat in Europe and earning the Air Medal, Distinguished Flying Cross, Legion of Merit, and Silver Star for his own actions and a Distinguished Unit Citation for the 332d Fighter Group.
Davis returned to the United States in June 1945 to assume command of the 477th Bombardment Group (composed of the 616th, 617th, 618th, and 619th Bombardment Squadrons; later redesignated the 477th Composite Group), another segregated black unit, at Godman Field, KY. Davis was expected to prepare the unit for deployment to the Pacific Theater, although the unit's training was badly behind schedule due to racial tensions between the white staff and black operating personnel of the unit. Davis quickly brought the unit up to deployment requirements, but the war ended before the 477th left the United States. Returning elements of the 332d and 99th were merged into the 477th, which was redesignated the 332d Fighter Wing in 1947. As the only remaining black unit in the newly-established, but still segregated, United States Air Force (USAF), the 332d suffered from a surplus of qualified personnel while remaining USAF units were often under manned. The performance of the units under Davis' command had laid to rest questions regarding the abilities of the "negro race" and in 1948 the Air Force determined that the efficient use of its manpower required the integration of its units. As a result the Air Force rapidly complied with President Truman's order for the integration of the United States military. Davis acted as an advisor to the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force in relation to the integration of the armed forces. The integration procedure, however, resulted in the deactivation of Davis' command as its personnel were dispersed among the rest of the Air Force; Davis himself was assigned to attend classes at the Air War College at Maxwell AFB, AL.
After completing the course of study at the Air War College (1949-1950), Davis was posted to a variety of command and staff positions both within the United States and abroad. He served in a number of staff positions in Headquarters, USAF, at the Pentagon.(4) He held both command and staff positions abroad in Korea (5), Japan (6), Taiwan (7), Germany (8), and the Philippines.(9) His final assignment was as Deputy Commander in Chief of United States Strike Command at MacDill AFB, FL.
Davis was promoted to Brigadier General in October 1954 (10), after ten years as a Colonel. He was promoted to Major General in June 1959 and to Lieutenant General in April 1965. Despite persistent rumors of his impending promotion to full General (four stars), no such promotion was pending by the time of his retirement on January 31, 1970.
Throughout his military career Davis took great pains to insure good living conditions and fair treatment for the men under his command. He strove to create good relations between the US military forces and local military and civil authorities. In particular, he negotiated several Status of Forces Agreements and defused several antagonistic situations between US forces and local authorities while commanding units in Asia. In addition, he and Agatha established many personal relationships, which they maintained after their return to the United States.
After his retirement from the military, he served briefly as the Director of Public Safety for the City of Cleveland, OH (February-July 1970), leading the Cleveland Police and Fire Departments in the racially-polarized atmosphere in that city after the riots of the late 1960s. Following his resignation from Cleveland, he took a position as the Director of Civil Aviation Security for the United States Department of Transportation (November 1970-June 1971), where he was responsible for implementing measures to counter the first wave of aerial hijackings of the 1970s. In July 1971 he was appointed Assistant Secretary of Transportation for Safety and Consumer Affairs (July 1971-September 1975), serving both the Nixon and Ford Administrations in that position.
Following his retirement from the civil service, he worked as a consultant to the Department of Transportation in the Ford and Carter Administrations on a number of issues, but was particularly linked to the promotion of the 55mph National Maximum Speed Limit. He served on a number of boards and commissions, including the President's Commission on Campus Unrest, the American Battle Monuments Commission, The President's Commission on Military Compensation, and the Board of Directors of the Manhattan Life Insurance Co. He was also active in a number of clubs and organizations, particularly the Tuskegee Airmen Inc., which awarded him a lifetime membership in 1991.
In the late 1980s he began work on his autobiography, Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., American: An Autobiography (Washington, DC: Smithsonian, 1991). Following its publication, Davis pursued an active speaking career, crossing the country to talk to schools, clubs, and general audiences about his experiences. His book and
es, his contributions to the Black Wings exhibit at the National Air and Space Museum (opened 1983), and the work of Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. did much to lift the veil that had fallen over the activities of black Americans during World War II, both in the air and on the ground. For his contributions, both during and after World War II, he received many awards, including the Order of the Sword (presented by the Non-Commissioned Officers of USAF Tactical Air Command, awarded 1978), designation as an Elder Statesman of Aviation (National Aeronautic Association, awarded 1991), and the Langley Medal (Smithsonian Institution, awarded 1992), as well as numerous lifetime and distinguished achievement awards.
On December 9, 1998, Davis was promoted to General on the Retired List, receiving his fourth star from President William Clinton in a ceremony held in the Presidential Hall of the Old Executive Office Building in Washington, DC. The promotion came only after the Tuskegee Airmen approached Senator John McCain of Airzona, who agreed that the promotion was warranted by Davis' service. McCain added the necessary language to a defense-related bill, which was passed by Congress in September 1998.
Agatha died early in 2002 and General Davis, suffering from Alzheimer's Disease, followed shortly after, passing away on July 4, 2002 at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC.
Endnotes 1. For the sake of brevity, "Davis" refers to Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. "Davis Sr." refers to his father, Benjamin O. Davis, Sr.
2. Davis had requested a commission in the Army Air Corps, but was refused due to his race. Davis was the fourth black American to graduate from West Point and the first in the twentieth century. In keeping with his sentiments, his ethnicity will only be mentioned when it has a direct bearing upon his career. See Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., American: An Autobiography (Washington: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1991).
3. At the request of General and Mrs. Davis the term "black" or "black American" is used in preference to "African-American". Patricia Williams, Memorandum for the Record, August 21, 1992, NASM Accession File 1992 0023.

10. Davis was the first black American to achieve flag rank in the United States Air Force. He was the second in the armed forces, the first being his father, who was promoted to Brigadier General in the United States Army in 1940.
This collection consists of material gathered by General and Mrs. Davis over the course of their lives to 1993. The bulk of this collection consists of correspondence, newsclippings, and photographs relating to or received by the Davises, especially after General Davis retired from the Air Force. The collection is particularly rich in materials from the black press of the 1940s, documenting the response of the black community to the activities of the 99th Fighter Squadron and 332d Fighter Group during and after World War II, and contains a small amount of material related to the controversy surrounding the units' combat performance and the morale issues raised by the segregated society of the 1940s. Most of the remainder of the material from Davis' military career centers on his own activities. Davis' tenure as the Director of Public Safety in Cleveland coincides with the activities of the Black Panther movement and the term of Mayor Carl Stokes, Cleveland's first mayor of African descent; the newclippings and correspondence from this period highlight police activities and public reaction in this racially-polarized atmosphere. Much of the material from Davis' early tenure at the Department of Transportation deals with civil aviation security, initially to counter the hijacking wave of the early 1970s and later to reduce cargo theft. The material from his later years, particularly during his years as a consultant, deals primarily with attempts to reduce gasoline consumption, especially his work promoting the 55mph National Maximum Speed Limit. The largest blocks of material from Davis' private life relate to his tenure on the President's Commission on Campus Unrest (1970) and the President's Commission on Military Compensation (1977-1978); these contain, respectively, materials on student protests, including the shootings at Kent State, and on issues surrounding military pay and retirement. There is also a significant body of material relating to his association with Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. and his speaking tours to increase public knowledge of the role of black servicemen during World War II.
Materials of a personal nature, particularly correspondence between General and Mrs. Davis, were retained by the Davises and therefore do not figure in this collection. Most official documents relating to Davis' activities in the military or civil service are held by the United States National Archives and Records Administration in Record Groups 18 (Records of the Army Air Forces), 341 (Records of Headquarters United States Air Force (Air Staff)), 342 (Records of United States Air Force Commands, Activities, and Organizations), and 398 (General Records of the Department of Transportation). Official materials remaining in the collection are primarily contemporary copies given to Mrs. Davis relating to General Davis' travel or public appearances.
Some of the early material (through approximately 1948) was organized by Mrs. Davis into a series of scrapbooks, each of which contains photographs, correspondence, and newsclippings. The rest of the items in the collection were organized into envelopes by the Davises before donation, with the material generally arranged by posting (duty station) and chronology. The items in any given envelope were generally not organized and neither were the envelopes themselves grouped in any particular manner. Additionally, some military records gathered by General Davis as reference material while writing his autobiography were identified by the period of his posting, although the material itself was generally created after that period. Items relating primarily to Mrs. Davis were not separated by the Davises in any manner; during processing such material was treated in a like manner, remaining interfiled with material relating primarily to General Davis, except as noted below.
The collection as a whole has been organized into four chronological groups: Civilian and Family Life (predating Davis' admission to the US Military Academy at West Point, NY), Military Service, Private Life (post-dating Davis' retirement from the USAF), and Autobiography. The second of these (Military Service) has been organized chronologically by posting, then alphabetically by subject; the remaining groups have been organized alphabetically by broad subject areas, then chronologically.
A number of broad subject areas recur in both the civilian and military sections of this collection. In cases where such broad areas can be applied individually to Davis, Mrs. Davis, or Davis Sr., they have been grouped in that order. The subject areas are as follows:
Other subject areas are generally self-explanatory.
The collection contained two videotapes, one relating to the 50th Anniversary of the Tuskegee Airmen and the other to the 1992 Clinton Campaign, both of which have been transferred to the NASM Film Archives. Cross references to these tapes have been placed in the finding aid in the series or subseries into which they would have fallen had they been documents. A large number of three-dimensional items, particularly plaques, have been transferred to curatorial control. For access to these items, please contact the NASM Aeronautics Department. Oversized items remaining in the collection have been placed in appropriate-sized containers at the end of the document collection; reference to such items occurs in the file lists as "see oversized..." or "see also oversized..." as appropriate.
Researchers should also consult Davis' autobiography, Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., American: An Autobiography (Washington, DC: Smithsonian, 1991).
This series consists of materials predating Davis' admission to the United States Military Academy at West Point in June 1932, including materials relating to Agatha Scott before her marriage to Davis. Some materials predating June 1932, including materials relating to Davis' parents and Scott and material relating to Davis' military career, have been compiled into scrapbooks by Mrs. Davis; these have been filed in Subseries 2.2. Other materials, primarily correspondence and other documents relating to Davis' parents, were collected or acquired by Davis while he was researching his autobiography. Such documents are located in Series 4.
Davis' general military records (Personnel, Medical, and Flight Records files) are filed first, followed a series of photo albums and scrapbooks covering Davis' career through 1948, but not separable by posting. Other materials follow, arranged chronologically by posting. The arrangement of records originally filed in groups clipped to different sides of the same folder or divider has been retained.
This series consists of materials covering the period between Davis' admission to the United States Military Academy at West Point in June 1932 and his retirement from the United States Air Force in January 1970.
Much original material, including orders and newsclippings, relating to Davis' early career (through 1948) has been compiled into a series of scrapbooks by Agatha Scott Davis. This material is located in Subseries 2.2. Materials relating to Davis' tenure at United States Military Academy (West Point), a copy of his Master Personnel Record (MPerR), and a number of unit histories were collected or acquired by Davis while he was researching his autobiography. Such documents are located in Series 4.
This subseries consists of Davis' personnel, medical, and flight records during his military career (1932-1970). Folder titles reflect the original labeling on the folder or file save for the folder of identity and record cards.

This series consists of materials covering the period following Davis' retirement from the United States Air Force on January 31, 1970.
Materials are arranged into two subseries --Employment, corresponding to the "Official Duties" subject area in the previous series, and Private Life, covering all other materials.
This subseries contains materials relating directly to Davis' various civilian employment and consulting positions. For materials relating to the Davises' private life or to Davis' activities outside of his employment see Subseries 3.2.
The subseries are arranged chronologically by position.
Acceptance of Position
Arrival, Welcome Luncheon
Arrival, Welcome Reception for Agatha
This subseries consists of items relating to the Davises' life after his retirement from the Air Force, but not related to his work.
The materials are arranged in subseries alphabetically by general subject.
Materials are arranged chronologically by date of award.
This subseries consists of items relating to awards given to Davis after his retirement from the USAF.
This subseries consists of items relating to awards given posthumously to Davis Sr. Materials are arranged chronologically by date of award.
This subseries consists of items relating to articles of a biographical nature, other than newspaper or magazine articles, about Davis. Materials are arranged by source.
This subseries consists of items relating to board, commissions, councils, etc. to which Davis was nominated, appointed, or elected. Materials are arranged alphabetically by organization.
This subseries consists of items relating to board, commissions, councils, etc. to which Agatha Davis was nominated, appointed, or elected. Materials are arranged alphabetically by organization.
This subseries consists of items relating to literary works in which Davis was involved or interested, or which were sent to Davis for some reason. Books are filed first, organized alphabetically by author and title, followed by documentaries, then dramas, both organized alphabetically by title. This subseries does not include information relating to Davis' autobiography, for which see Series 4.
This subseries consists of items relating to race relations and black history. Materials are organized alphabetically by subject.
This subseries consists of items relating to groups to which Davis belonged, or with which he was associated, but in which he did not hold a position of responsibility, for which see Subseries III.C.5, above. Materials are organized alphabetically by organization, then, if necessary, by subject.
This subseries consists of items relating to groups to which Agatha Davis belonged, or with which she was associated, but in which she did not hold a position of responsibility, for which see Subseries III.C.6. Materials are organized alphabetically by organization.
This subseries consists of items relating to objects, buildings, and the like designed or named to commemorate or memorialize Davis and/or Davis Sr. Materials are arranged by name of memorial.
This subseries consists of correspondence address to the Davises at their home. After a short section arranged by correspondent, the material is organized chronologically. There is some content overlap between the correspondence in this subseries and that in Subseries IV.B.1., in that some of the correspondence in this subseries relates to Davis' autobiography and some in Subseries IV.B.1. does not. However, the materials in Subseries IV.B.1. were identified by the Davises as correspondence relating to the book and filed together alphabetically by correspondent while the materials in this subseries were scattered in chronological groupings. Researchers are advised to examine both subseries for correspondence in the 1991-1993 time period.
This subseries consists of items pertaining to subjects related to the United States Department of Defense outside of Davis' participation in Defense-related advisory committees. Materials are arranged alphabetically by subject.
This subseries consists of items related to exhibitions to which Davis contributed or in which he was otherwise involved. Materials are arranged alphabetically by venue, then alphabetically by exhibit title.
This subseries consists of clippings, tear sheets, and complete periodicals. Clippings and tear sheets are arranged chronologically, followed by periodicals arranged alphabetically by title.
This subseries consists of items relating to political activities. General materials are arranged alphabetically by subject, followed by materials relating to specific elections organized chronologically
This subseries consists of items relating to articles, interviews, and speeches by Davis. Materials relating to Articles and Interviews are organized alphabetically by subject. Materials relating to speeches and other public appearances are arranged chronologically. Material in this subseries for the 1991-1993 time period includes public appearances which were part of speaking tours for Davis' book. Due to the manner in which Davis' appearances were arranged and the manner in which the materials were organized at the time of transfer, it is impossible to divide his speeches between book-related and non-book-related appearances. Those appearances which could be unambiguously be assigned to book-related speaking tours are filed under Subseries IV.B.3.
This subseries consists of items relating to the Davises' various travels after 1970 which do not appear to be employment-related.

This subseries consists of items sent to the Davises following the publication of Davis' autobiography and which were identified by the Davises as being in "response" to the book.
Materials in this subseries are organized alphabetically by correspondent.
This subseries consists of correspondence identified by the Davises as responses to Davis' autobiography. This correpsondence is not materially different from the correspondence in Subseries III.B.12. and researchers are advised to examine both subseries for the 1991-1993 period.
Materials are organized by genre, with complete periodicals organized alphabetically by title.
This subseries consists of clippings and periodicals identified by the Davises as relating to Davis' autobiography.
This subseries consists of items relating to publicity and speaking tours for Davis' book. Materials relating to Davis' speaking tours are organized chronologically. Researchers are advised to examine both this subseries and Subseries 3.2.18. for public appearances during the 1991-1993 time period, as no clear division between book-related and non-book-related appearances can be made in many cases.
Oversized boxes are numbered consecutively by size of box. Within each box, materials are identified by the subseries and folder title to which they are related. Items marked as [loose] are too large to be placed in a folder and are therefore placed in the box without enclosure.
