Wilfred DeFour, who served with the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II, died on Saturday in New York. He was 100. DeFour had just attended a ceremony last month honoring the Tuskegee Airmen by renaming a Harlem post office after them.

The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military pilots.
