In case some of you don't know George Lucas is coming out with a film titled "Red Tails", it's the story of the Tuskegee Airmen during WWII. Here's a behind the scenes look with the P-51 Mustangs in the film 8)
Very cool, got any idea where it's being filmed?

I'm very excited about this movie, although I'm pretty scared they'll mess it up with over-use of CGI (ahem, the Star Wars prequels...). At least Sam Jackson is the director so I hope there'll be a good story and presentation of the men of the 332nd and more real aearial shots.
But I hope they don't mess too much with Axis pilots. Either making them geneticaly enchanced super-evil pilots or completely encapable, half-blind ones... :roll:
I just hope it is historically accurate regarding their perfect record. The group's historian has publicly stated the claim of having "never lost a bomber" turned out to be false after extensive research. Even without perfection, their record is absolutely stellar and as good or better than any other fighter group.
As the historian, a former airman, stated: "the Tuskegee story is about pilots who rose above adversity and discrimination and opened a door once closed to black America
where did they manage to find all those mustangs?
