Storyline

During the Second World War, a special project is begun by the US Army Air Corps to integrate African American pilots into the Fighter Pilot Program. Known as the "Tuskegee Airman" for the name of the airbase at which they were trained, these men were forced to constantly endure harassement, prejudice, and much behind the scenes politics until at last they were able to prove themselves in combat.

This cliche-bound script is an equal-missed-opportunity employer.

The script's familiar, since air combat isn't a new genre by a long shot, but the additional mission of the men proving themselves gives telepic its extra dimension.

The story of the Black fighter pilots who broke the color barrier in the American Air Force during World War II was finally acknowledged on the screen in 1995. It was a long time coming.

True story of African-Americans in WWII has mature themes.
