Red Tail Reborn

2007 · 57 min · Documentary

Amidst the racial naysayers during WWII, the first African-American fighter pilots were commissioned in 1941 to help defend the distressed bombers in the European theater. Under the watch of these pilots, few to no bombers were lost to enemy fighters. These forgotten pilots are known as the Tuskegee Airmen. The ambition to make these heroes a household name is the primary objective of The Redtail Project, a group of men and women who honored the Airmen by touring air shows with a restored P-51C Mustang, the famous roaring fighter plane these men flew in combat.
