  • Background to Red Tails
    BACKGROUND TO RED TAILS THE INSPIRATION AND HISTORY The history of the Tuskegee Airmen began when the Civil Aeronautics Authority selected 13 cadets to participate in an experiment at the Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama aimed at training “coloured personnel” to become combat pilots for service in the Army Air Corps. However, fierce discrimination, lack of institutional support and the belief that these men lacked the intelligence and aptitude to be pilots or maintain military aircraft dogged their every step. When they were finally awarded the opportunity to fight for the Allied forces during World War II, these men flew thousands of missions, and in a two-year period between 1943 and 1945, the Tuskegee Airmen shot down more than a hundred German aircraft, including three of the first German jets ever used in combat. Their planes, P-51 Mustangs painted with distinct red tails, came to be feared by the enemies and respected by allies. By the end of the war, the Tuskegee Airmen had earned 96 Distinguished Unit Citations and as individual pilots earned several Silver Stars, Purple Hearts and hundreds of other awards and medals. “I thought their story would make a great film,” says Red Tails producer George Lucas, “An inspirational one that shows the incredible things these men went through to patriotically serve with valour and help the world battle back the evils of fascism. It is an amazing story, and I wanted to memorialise it.” To be as true as possible to the spirit of the Tuskegee Experience would require direct input from the original Airmen themselves.

  • Tuskegee Airmen
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration tuskegee airmen Fighting to Fly Elementary School Educational Product Educators & Students Elementary School During World War II the U.S. military allowed Black men to fly as pilots. This had never happened before. Many people did not want them to fly because of their skin color. The pilots are known as the Tuskegee Airmen. They were very successful during the war. Although Black men had served in the U.S. military before World War II, they were not allowed to fly airplanes. Many military leaders did not think Black men were smart enough to fly. This was not true. Black pilots proved they could, flying for France during World War I. The first class of Black student pilots began training at Tuskegee University in Alabama on July 19, 1941. Nearly 1,000 Black men would learn to fly at Tuskegee between 1941 and 1946. When America joined World War II following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, everyone was in a hurry to train pilots. This was true at Tuskegee too. But there still were people who did not want Black men to fly in the war. When the Tuskegee Airmen arrived in Europe, they joined the rest of their Fighter Squadron. A squadron is a group of pilots and airplanes. Their job is to fly missions to find and hurt the enemy. Their job is to drop bombs, shoot at enemy ships on the water, and shoot down enemy aircraft. Guarding bombers from enemy attack was the mission the Tuskegee Airman became most famous for.
