:The Tuskegee Airmen"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

In what is turning out to be a serendipitous week of WW II aircraft films, last night I watched this tale of the famous "Tuskegee Experiment", in which "coloreds" were given the chance to become fighter pilots, albeit segregated in their own sqadron. Lawrence Fishburne and Cuba Gooding star and they meet on the way to training camp. Eventually they are finally given a combet role out of North Africa, It is a historical fact that this sqadron never lost a bomber to German fighters and toward the end of the war they were requested by bomber crews to guard them. Very well cast and directed with good aerial dogfight photographt. John Lithgow is a bit over the top as a senator who is against the experiment and tries to thwart it along thw way.
