There are soooo many other topics worth making a movie about concerning the air-war during WW2.... Why a bunch of over-hyped black guys flying Mustangs is more interesting than say the Cactus Air force or the Black sheep or the disasters at Schweinfurt (sp) or Cassel is lost on me....
There already has been a movie about the Tuskeegee Project
Silly walkin Bastard, I like the siggy Cosimo.....

There already has been a movie about the Tuskeegee Project, and in it they propagated the myth even more so about not losing a single bomber while escorting....
Pure horseshit...
Thanks Les... They dont make comedy ike that anymore!
If they want to make a movie about the contribution of African Americans, why not The Red Ball Express? The advance on the western front woulda been much more slow without the supply lines staffed mainly by blacks.
It may not be as sexy of a topic but they did more to win the war then the Red Tails.

I would like to see a mainstream big budget movie about the battle to reach 300 kills... And all the guys who died trying to reach the most improbable of victories....
Some big name actor has to play Hartmann and Barkhorn...
Who could pull it off???
it should be lame and probably some self glorification, sure the 332nd is not well known but so is the 8th AF 356th fg which their story should be definately told, or how about Bill's Dads outfit the 355th fg ...........geez there is so much with all the new tech from the best to now.......
forget the silly politics and this is exactly what it is about
Agreed, that would be something. The actors should be german definately even speaking english I think they probably get closer to the historic character.
Red Tail smells of politics but I suppose it won't be out with Obama starring before November
Who in the hell would you cast as Hartmann, Rall, Bader, Johnson, (Case), Boyington, Yeager, Bolt, Rudel, Gabreski or Preddy (or Sakai, etc). IMHO there isn't a character or actor today who has the remotest concepts of what it takes to be a fighter pilot..
