Though there was a fine film version of the their story made made for HBO in 1995: The Tuskeegee Airman which starred Laurence Fishburne, Cuba Gooding Jr, Andre Braugher, and a host of others. It was based on the remeniscences of Robert W Williams, one of their number whom I was privleged to know before his passing in '97.

Their achievements are truly legendary.

Benjamin O Davis JR, their leader, RIP.

Thanks for the tip on that HBO movie. I will look for it.

If my feeble memory serves me, I thought there was a play as well called Black Eagles. I remember that because George Bush senior went to it (I thought) right before the Gulf War and spoke of it.

Thanks again.
