so all in all... the 332nd was NOT the best?

plus if i remember the 332nd were told not to engage in luffwaffle or chase them down, and stick to the escort thats why they didn't get alot of kills

i usually here the argument, that the 332nd was fighting against a inexperienced luffwaffle at the time, since they were mostly destroyed (the best pilots) before the 332nd took combat flight... if this is true, then it sheds some new light on the 332nd

hollywood is basically saying the tuskegee airmen were the best pilots in the war

for the new tuskegeee arimen the official plot synopsis regarding their mission of escorting the bombers in daylight. Apparently so dangerous the RAF won't do it.

so would you say the tuskegee airmen were the best

the movie doesn't look that good to be honest, though.... it seems like its cheezy, the dialogue looks mediocre, and the flying scenes look unrealistic im not sure it will be even better then pearl harbor (that movie blowed)

you have a great point, im sorry if i presented my self to be a snob, im just trying to connect the dots, i guess with the movie coming out, its stuck in alot of people's heads, espespecially casual... im sure there were british and canadian units that were better, and probably american units...

on youtube if you look at the trailer, you see alot of comments that they were the best, and the tuskegee airmen best pilots in the war, and im just trying to see if there any units in the allies or axis that were better then the,

i don't want to sound like a troll or a ahole, im just trying to find out if they were the best when it came to pure skill i had a friend, who is black, said the "tuskegee airmen were the best pilots in ww2..." bias, maybe.. but im just trying to find out

you think the 357th was better then the 332nd? interesting

but then again, just because you were a high scoring ace doesn't mean you were a better pilot i mean you can't say Erich Hartmann was a better pilot then any of the tuskegee guys, just cause he had 352 kills

what units had better records then the tuskegee guys?

thanks for answering The MustangRider.... but that really doesn't answer the question, not to be rude... but when it comes to pure flight skill were they the best... is there any unit that is considered more skillful then the tuskeegee airmen

despite not having alot of aces, or top aces (i think they had at least 1 ace) but anyways, aces don't mean anything, in terms of flight, they were the most skillful pilots in the war agree or disagree they were better then there white counterparts
