Were African-Americans mixed into B-17 Bomber crews?

[Mark in Cleveland, Tn.]

Were there ever in the ETO active bomber crews who had African-American crew members?
How about stateside? Any integrated crews in training from when B-17G came into service to VE Day?

I doubt it. The US Armed forces were segregated during WW2. The 477th Bombardment Group was formed from African-Americans.

If you really dig into African American history you can find accounts of men who were technically AA, but "Passed White". Its ore than you might think. But, I don't think the group fits the question in the OP.
