Coming soon: Red Tails
As a long-standing aviation buff and voracious reader since I cracked the covers of my first book long ago, no topic has captured my interest like World War II -- especially the aviators who battled in the skies over Europe, and no aircraft captured my interest quite like the B-17 Flying Fortress.
So this trailer gave me chills. It's the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, the black fighter pilots who provided cover for the B-17s and B-24s and their crews over Nazi-occupied Europe, brave men who lost fewer bombers under their protection to enemy aircraft than any other unit in the Army Air Corps.
This looks great!

Very cool. We might make it a unit field trip.
