I don't think he is. He said he fought in Korea.
I was under the impression he was the first, the prototype before Steve. But that may have been from the comics.

The Tuskagee Syphilis study that Isaiah Bradleys story was based on started in 1932 and continued until 1972, so no occuring in peacetime had very little bearing on the ethics of those involved. Somehow the Education Psychology degree I did had a section of a number of monstrously dodgy studies in health and psychology conducted in the early 20th century which now form part of modern development theory., its really quite eye opening.Yep, it is only a small forward jump in years from the comics version to the MCU version. I think it mainly means the secret experiments done to him and 300 other black men happened between WWII and the Korean War, instead of during WWII. I was reading the details on the comic book arc that Isaiah had when his books were published in the early 2000's, and wow, were they dark. Not only did almost none of the other soldiers survive, but the US government had everyone at the army camp, where the 300 came from, executed, so that there was no one left who could talk about it. For the MCU that is probably different if the experiments happened during peacetime, since there would not be a war to blame all the deaths on. Though the Korean War did start in 1950, so there is a gap before Isaiah was sent into Korea some time during 1951 to find and stop the Winter Soldier.
The last scene, where Sharon gets into a car with a dark-haired woman, very heavily implies she is working for someone, and "on the run" was just a cover story.While it is possible they are doing something wild like that with Sharon, it is also just as likely that she's done as she says - she makes a lot of funds on the darker side of the art trade.
Amen, the apocalypse happens and its like everything is hunky dorey again, other than the occasional terriorist threat to stop, basic services all seem completely intact. To put it in context, the Soviet Union lost 15%-20% of its population during WWII....and that was an insane amount of casualties, much higher than other countries.Anything to give us a better idea of how bad things are. Between this show, wandavision, and far from home things look pretty great considering how awful and confusing the last 6-8 months should have been.

From what I hear the Black Widow movie is set in the 1980s.
1930s: Erskine experiments on Red Skull. Zola assists?
1943: Erskine experiments on Steve Rogers. Erskine is killed and most of the original serum destroyed.
1944: Zola experiments on Bucky, using his knowledge of Erskine's experiments on Red Skull.
1950s: CIA and Zola (under Operation Paperclip) experiment on black American servicemen using Erskine's notes and samples of Rogers' blood. Isaiah is the only success?
