Hogues enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1946, according to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and served as a mechanic for the 99th Fighter Squadron, 332nd Fighter Group - one of the US military's first units of Black aviators. Hogues was one of the more than 10,000 Black men and women who supported those pilots, the National Museum of African American History and Culture said.
Born in Navasota, Texas, in April 1927, Hogues was a devoted member of several churches throughout his life. He was "loved and appreciated especially with the youth ministry as chief mechanic and bus driver for summer youth trips," the obituary said. He eventually got a job at an electroplating facility near Dallas, where he worked for about four decades before retiring, according to the obituary.
