The story of the magnificent 332nd Fighter Group is woven into a dramatic tapestry of the horror of war and the disjointed approach of many Americans to a difficult time and a situation many would have preferred to ignore. The performance of the pilots who graduated the Tuskegee Training Program(they NEVER lost an escorted bomber to enemy action!) unfolds against thebackdrop of misunderstanding, racism and political machinations that nearlydestroyed the entire enterprise.This film does a magnificent job oftelling the tale without being melodramatic, preachy or snide, but doesfull justice to the accomplishments of the pilots and their eventualvictory against both German pilots and their own nation's refusal torecognize their talents.For the student of World War II, this is awell-known and much-respected story.For the student of African-AmericanHistory, it is a tale of pride which shines as brightly as the stars on theAmerican Flag these men so courageously defended. Fishburn and Cuba Goodingare superior as men caught between their own humanity and the de-humanizingeffects of war.If ever a film deserve a 5-Star rating, this one does.Click Here to see more reviews about: The Tuskegee Airmen (1995)
