Airmen Wild Bill (William Wheeler) who joined the Lonely Eagles in 2011, was on the cover of this documentary. You can contact his son Derek Wheeler or the FRD Library for a copy in DVD form

I am acquainted with Lee Archer, Roscoe Brown, Col Dryden and some of those individuals featured in the variou clips. Good Documentary except the audio was too low to appreciate the presentation. How can I get a cleaner copy of this video?

Too bad the "Red Tails" movie will come out when so many of these fine gentlemen are dead, of course the movie will be Hollywood fiction, with very little to do with reality but still will be a deserved acknowledgment of the skill, bravery and above all professionalism of these pilots, where some others hunted for glory the "Red Tails" always put the mission and the team work first, that make one of the best or probably the best USA air group of WWII

[nedstewart1]

@AkiraBrahe I get it the American pilots were inferior because they lacked discipline. My father flew over the skies of Europe and would be insulted by those remarks. The Tuskegee airmen were no better disciplined or better pilots than the White pilots. Don't tell me you believe that the fiction HBO movie of the Airmen was 100% truthful.

[AkiraBrahe]

Ey!!...cool your jets, of course the movies are fiction I said that myself, I clearly wrote "some others" and that was an historical fact, the Tuskegee as a group were arguably the best bombers escorts of WWII, they were extremely careful to fly no too far from the bomber and not too close, just enough to do the job first and foremost, that doesn´t mean other groups were bad, not at all. I offer gratitude and respect to your father and his brothers on arms regardless their race.

[AkiraBrahe]

@nedstewart1... I have extremely clear how the USA won the war, was through superior industrial power and superb team work which means discipline, the Germans have some of the best pilots of all times and very good equipment the Japanese were extremely good and the Zero could fly rings around anything at the beginning of the war but the bravery, team work and numbers of the mostly white USA airmen bested them, acknowledging Tuskegee success doesn´t takes anything from white pilots

[AkiraBrahe]

Finally, I am perfectly aware of the somewhat exaggerated claims made about the "Red Tails", they, in fact lost bombers, very few, but they lost them, but that same sources who debunk the myth of the "Red Tail never lost a bomber" also acknowledge their outstanding performance...and the discrimination they suffered was´nt a myth or HBO fiction, was sadly real and still they fought tooth and nail for their country...just as white people did, and that my friend, deserves praise.

The only reason exec. order 9981 was placed into effect, was because in all essence, The Tuskegee Airmen showed the world about black unity, and made the whites look bad. So how do you "take care" of that in a PC way? You legally disband the black sector of the military, integrate them with their white counterparts, then make sure that very few blacks can accomplish these extraordinary accomplishments. They know how powerful we are when we UNITE. Divide and conquer. That was the motive.

Again, WHY should we waste our talents on this ungrateful country? We should go back HOME to AFRICA. Develop the continent (which we can do within DECADES), and create the greatest nation ever known to HUMANITY. Our greatest minds would GLADLY be appreciated there. Create the LARGEST, most ADVANCED military, educational, technological, medical,political, and most importantly economical institutions known to HUMANITY. The WHOLE WORLD would benefit GREATLY from US UNITING. :)

[turboinside88]

@AlHajjMalik01 You should get on a boat and head back to your "HOME" ASAP!!!!

[AlHajjMalik01]

@turboinside88 And why don't you crawl back into the cesspool of a home you call the caucus mountains, and STAY THERE. You sack of puss-filled, maggot infested elephant after-birth. Your people (including HITLER) have been nothing but a PLAGUE to the world. By the way, did you know that your "beloved" Führer was a Jew & that most caucasian people ARE NOT 100% pure white? Learn REAL history. No replies needed or requested. I don't debate with intellectual DWARFS like you. STAY IN YOUR TRAILER.

[AkiraBrahe]

@AlHajjMalik01 Calm down, though you are justified on your anger against racists who by definition are also ignorants there is not need to scream, you are right about how mixed are we all, so mixed in fact many biologists say there is only a Homo Sapiens race with only minor cosmetic differences among groups, not differentiated races. But you are wrong about Hitler, at most he had a Jew ancestor, but there is not solid evidence of that, only a small possibility.

[turboinside88]

@AlHajjMalik01 I you are so proud of your "HOME", why are you not in "AFRICA" right now? Because you know that is the worst idea ever posted on youtube!!!

[AlHajjMalik01]

@turboinside88 Since you're also proud of your "Home" (which DEFINITELY isn't the Americas...it's EUROPE) why don't you go back??!! The Americas belong to the MESO-AMERICANS...NOT those of European decent. Listen man, do yourself a favor and LEARN HISTORY. You were NOT welcomed in the Americas, nor anywhere else your kind stepped into. By the way I know what your "88" signifies, you racist prick. Do humanity a favor and go jump off a cliff. Have a nice day ;)

[turboinside88]

@AlHajjMalik01 88 is for dale jr you clown!!!!

[AlHajjMalik01]

What's so ironic about their accomplishments, is that us blacks STILL don't get equal treatment in this country. We have a black president, and yet, he governs with a scrutiny within his cabinet, because he's black. We as a people have made EXEMPLARY ACCOMPLISHMENTS in representation of this country, and yet, we're not recognized. At this point, I just say that we just need to stop wasting our talents on this "great" country,go back to AFRICA, & utilize our talents to make AFRICA GREAT AGAIN.

[turboinside88]

@AlHajjMalik01 "Africa good again"? Remind me when "again" was because I don't remember that?????

[AlHajjMalik01]

@turboinside88 Do yourself a favor, when you start traveling to the African countries that I mentioned, THEN you can converse with me. Until then, keep your ignorance to yourself. YOU nor your "people" don't own, nor run this planet. All you've done is cause CHAOS, ANARCHY and DISARRAY, and yet, don't hold yourselves accountable for it.

[turboinside88]

@AlHajjMalik01 Do me a favor and go to Africa if you love it so much.

[turboinside88]

@AlHajjMalik01 I would be willing to bet that you have never stepped foot out of this country, yet you think you know what you have. You show your ignorance very well in the posts above.

[AlHajjMalik01]

@turboinside88 1st of all Sir, FYI, I've traveled to 23 countries, know 6 languages (Spanish, French, Arabic, Portuguese, and Japanese) FLUENTLY, and was raised in ASIA (Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia). 2nd, I've BEEN TO AFRICA (Ghana, Senegal, Algeria, Morocco, Cote' D Ivoire, and South Africa). I KNOW a WHOLE LOT MORE and BETTER the geo-political, economical and social situations in these African countries, as well as in Asia WAY MORE than you do.

When you meet ex-Tuskegee airmen, like I have, you notice the pride in what they accomplished.
