The last remaining Tuskegee Airman was at the recent State Of The Union address. (100 years old) He looked like he could take a P51 Mustang up today. Fantastic movie. One of the best ever.

this is a very good and historically correct movie.the casting was outstanding with laurence fishburne(A.K.A. larry fishburne), allen payne and john lithgow playing thier roles to a T.This movie also had alot of good special effects mixed with actual footage to give it a sense of reality.The people at HBO home video have appearently made a mistake.according to the UPC code this movie is fullscreen but the movie is actually widescreen or letterbox edition.this inacuracy resulted in questioning of a good ebay seller,and this should be corrected.
Hard to find movie made easy. I have been trying to get this one for a while. My elderly parents love it.

This video gives a good background into the airmen. Unfortunately, the other movie (Red Tails) is the one that gets all the TV showings.

When I watch this movie, I likened it to another movie of the same era "Go For Broke". However, the difference is that "Go For Broke" was made shortly after the war effort, I suppose to mend racial fences. Bravery, the power to overcome prejudice, and still fight for the country that inflicts such indignities on a race says a lot for these two movies. It is a pity that it took all this time to make "The Tuskegee Airmen. What I liked best about the movie is that it centered around the bravery and performance of these airmen and not as much the bigotry of the time. The characters, as did the aviators they represented, kept their primary focus on their mission. Great performances by all cast members. A must for everyones DVD Library.
Great True Story Film!

When I teach my Juniors in High School about World War II - I always include "The Tuskegee Airmen". Students need to know what a difference an amazing group of African Americans made in the fight for our freedom. I rarely see any mention of these fine fighting men ever mentioned in our History book - and I feel they played such an important part in our victory in Europe. I also show "The Windtalkers" to show the important contribution a group of Navajo Code Talkers made in the battles fought in the Pacific Theater. The outcome might have been totally different if they were not a part of our history. I had the VHS but needed the DVD for better viewing. Would highly recommend for the History Teacher or a WWII History buff!
A good movie, one I have wanted for a while
