Historical drama about the first African-American pilots in the US military during World War II. In 1942, a group of college graduates are selected for training as pilots in the Army Air Corps at the Tuskegee training base. In what is billed by everyone as an experiment, the men face not only the institutionalized prejudice of their white officers, but that generally found in the US South at the time. There are clearly those who would like to see this program fail, including the Major in charge of training and a southern US Senator. However, even when they distinguish themselves in North Africa, there is an attempt to disband them forever. In the end, they served their country with distinction and bravery, flying missions in Europe include providing bomber escort for the bombing of Berlin.
