My middle school principal was one of the flying Tuskegee Airmen. He was tough and expect every student to do their best he didn’t put up with slack or excuses. Thanks Mr Mims for being tough on us!! RIP!!!
My dad has a hard time watching these films. He commanded an artillery and later a Missile battery in the 50s and 60s. He would tell me stories of them stoping to eat, and restaurants wouldn't serve them, so he would wait in the jeep so the white men he commanded could eat a good meal. "How do I feel about my country, and how does my country feel about me?" Those are words every black American has asked....
I met a WWII Japanese fighter pilot and he told me a story about his German counter parts, where they hated to see those red tails on an approaching fighter squadron because they knew they would be in for one hell of a fight. That’s why those pilots started to called them the “Red Tail Devils.”
I am white, the black soldier in World War II was very underrated and a lot of them old outstanding records with their units today,I served with all Races in the military and I consider every one of them my brother and I'd still give my life for them today
Had the pleasure to meet 3 Tuskegee pilots a few years back over here in the U.K. when they did some book signings and attended air shows.. True Hero’s and real gents We salute them all. Respect
Rest In Power to Groundbreaking Cinema and TV Actor Andre Braugher (1962-2023). Thanks for sharing a lifetime of such incredible talent. Among the many roles you acted that stand out as one of my favorites was as Lt. Col. Benjamin O. Davis Jr. in HBO's 1995 production of "The Tuskegee Airmen" with Laurence Fishburne. You will be sadly missed and never forgotten. ❤🎭✨

Rest in peace Andre Braugher 😢, soon as I heard of his passing I immediately thought of this performance. Amazing!
"You invite us to a poker game, hand us a fixed deck, and then wonder why we can't win?"
“To give a representative of the accused an opportunity to defend himself!” One of my favorite lines ever.
"Let him finish, sir." That part was really cool with the General giving Benjamin Davis time to explain what's going on.
This man killed this part.I can watch this part right here all day .RIP

Andre Braugher kicked ass in this movie, the way he delivers every one of his lines is superb....
Oh my god, Captain Holt looks so YOUNG!
They're risking their lives for a country that won't even let them go into a restaurant and have a burger or pizza.
Love and respect to those brave American pilots. Seems like they had to fight two wars. One against the nazis and one against ignorance and racism.
That is one of the best speeches I have ever heard.
That AA Lt.Col. would later become 4-star USAF General Ben Davis...
The Tuskegee pilots were requested by many of the bomber groups. They got the job done. They earned respect they never got. Bad us!

The crap those men had to endure is beyond shameful.
