I’m not trying to diminish the contribution of these brave men, but they’ve already made a movie about the Tuskeegee Airmen. I believe it came out in 1995 which is fairly recent.

I own it. It’s pretty good but comes off a little like a TV movie. I saw the previews to this one and I really want to see it, but just for the flying scenes. I’ve been a huge WWII air war buff since the late 1960’s and have spent thousands of hours on internet WWII simulators, flying pretty much everything every used in the war from every country.

I’ve learned to not expect Hollywood to get it right. I mean, in Gone With the Wind, the women of the civil war had 1930’s hairstyles..

I saw a poster for this movie a couple weeks ago and saw the mustang with a red tail and said to my wife, “must be about the Tuskegee Airmen.”

I’ll wait for it to come out on Blue Ray at redbox before I watch it though. I’ve discovered the movies are actually BETTER at home now then at the theater.

I was honored to have known one of the Tuskeegee Airmen, who was a member of my VFW lodge. He has now passed away. I think
Doesn't bother me one bit about them making a second movie about them. How many movies did they make about D-day, or Peal Harbor, or many of the other battles of WWII. Some good some bad.
I think I will like the original Tuskeegee Airmen movie better, only because from what I see in the trailer, of this new one it looks a little too CG. Still I will never pass up a good war movie even if the story has been done.
