The last known member of the famed Tuskegee Airmen from Omaha has died. Robert Holts was 96 years-old when he died Friday and had spent his final years at an assisted living center in Bellevue. It’s been more than 70 years since Holts ended his military service, but he’ll forever be a part of a group of World War II pilots and support personnel who broke color barriers in the 1940’s.
