I thought that was the Redtails of WW2?

[Alas Babylon!]

They were indeed the RedTAILS, not hawks.

From their history page:

“The Allies called these airmen “Redtails” or “Redtail Angels,” because of the distinctive crimson paint applied on the vertical stabilizers of the unit’s aircraft.[7]”

It looks like the color scheme is more of a tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen than the actual name.
