Re: :The Tuskegee Airmen"

The 99th Fighter Squadron did fly P-39s but only in North Africa. When the 99th was transferred to Europe and combined with three other fighter squadrons they formed the 332nd Fighter Group. At that time they were issued P-51 Mustangs. The HBO movie clearly shows this. The pictures below show one of the remaining P-51s. "Sparky" (as it's named) is used mostly today for racing but it was temporarily painted with the distinctive "Red Tail" markings used by the Tuskegee Airmen of the 332nd specifically for use in the HBO movie.
