Red Tails is based on real events of a crew of African American pilots in the Tuskegee training program,
faced segregation while kept mostly on the ground during World
War II, and are called into duty under the guidance of Col. A.J. Bullard. Staring:Cuba Gooding Jr., Gerald McRaney and David Oyelowo.After a bit of a slow start, Red Tails tells the story of the Tuskegee Airmen who became a part of American history when "Negros" were not thought to be smart enough to sweep the floor, let alone fly airplanes and perform military air manuvers.
Action on the ground is lame, as is the overall script, but the historical value of the movie (which scratches the surface of the overall Tuskegee program) makes it worth seeing -- even if it's only on your TV off a DVD.
