I watch The Daily Show every night to blow off steam, and usually these days it’s a sad picture that gets painted every night. I was watching and Red Tails the movie came up, which I have followed for some time now. I have wanted to become a fighter pilot since I was a small child, and really, I wanted to become a pilot in the prop-era-dog style of war that is long past us now. One of my heroes I look up to in that space, are the Tuskegee Airmen.

Their performance in the war has always to me, been a huge success. I often met references to their group in many of my explorations of world war II era flight. What pains me, is the reality Lucas states in his segment about the ability to show a movie like this, and how unnoticed this group of aviators has been to the public. I am not a fan of making every war story into a movie, but of all the stories we have turned into movies so far, it feels almost criminal that the feats of this group were left untouched. The struggles that were fought in this group are simply amazing, and the professionalism, and honor these men served is truly awe-inspiring. There are plenty of unsung heroes in any war, but this group accomplished their mission, survived the racism and hatred from enemies both foreign and domestic.

I look forward to the movie coming out, but more importantly, I am happy this group will finally get some attention for their efforts. Unfortunately most of the crews will not have survived to hear their story told.
