During World War II, the U.S. military still enforced racial segregation. The Tuskegee program targeted African-American military pilots. From 1941 to 1946, 992 pilots were trained, 450 were sent overseas, 66 were killed, and 32 were captured.

They participated in:
15 air battles;
311 missions;
179 bomber escorts, only 25 bombers were lost,
112 air enemy planes and 150 ground enemy planes were destroyed, 148 ground enemy planes were
destroyed, and 950 enemy motor vehicles were damaged, including more than 950 trains. 600
incapacitated one destroyer and
destroyed 40 other ships.

So this movie is quite realistic.

    Fortunately, the air combat is still good, but the plot and story...

    This kind of American inspirational story like chicken soup for the soul, the plot is inevitably the same, and there is also a period of dog-blood exotic love. Is it still not procrastinating enough for the literary drama? I am afraid that many movie fans are looking forward to the gorgeous air combat special effects created by George Lucas’ Industrial Light and Magic. Unfortunately, the uniform and large panoramic cuts of the characters’ facial close-ups make the war scenes like boiled water. What’s more deadly is that the four air combat scenes are flat, don’t mention it. It's climax, there is not even a wave of waves. ★★

Red Tails quotes

  • Andrew 'Smokey' Salem: When you get upset, when you get mad, you turn red, right? When you get envious, or sick, you turn green. When you become cowardly, you turn yellow; and ya'll got the nerve to call us colored?

  • Declan 'Winky' Hall: Experience is a cruel teacher, gives the exam first and then the lesson.
