World War II- The "Red Tails" in Flight, circa 1944

[johnboygotti]

you must have misunderstood me i am a black man i was talking about the white pilots who were suppose to protect the bombers the movie made it seem like the white pilots were chasing glory and thats why they were leaving the bombers unprotected but the first movie about the tuskegee air men tells the truth because it show how the white pilots were scared and leaving the bombers and thats why the tuskegee air men were brought in

[airportmadness]

@johnboygotti.Yea those White pilots flying off aircraft carriers were really scared.A White pilot named Bong won the Congressional Medal of Honor for shooting down 40 Jap Zeroes. In effectiveness the Red Tails were behind 3 White squadrons in the 15th, Before the Red Tails began escorting B17's, those White fighter pilots had destroyed 90% of the German Air Force. Yea! They were really scared!!!!

[twefish]

Those P-51's are so beautiful!

[GrandHeapEntertain]

Let it be known to all that read these words..bigots and non-bigots alike..never have we had in the anals of history, a group of braver men. These incredibly brave African American warriors were laughed at, mocked, even physically beaten by their own white countrymen. They endured all this yet prevailed to serve their country! So racists, bow your heads in shame! For we shall never see the likes of these extraordinary supermen ever again... the legendary elite warriors... The Tuskegee Airmen!

[Rudyboy342]

Yeah I dont think their the Red Tails, because they dont have RED TAILS as they did in history

[TheTugaAirborne]

Hi guys.

Im from Portugal, and i really dont get racism in the USA...

My father fought in Angola (1963-1967), half of is platoon (Airborne) was made up of black guys from Angola, is best friend was black (past way recentely), they shared everything, fought together, and became best friends after the war.

Im also Aiborne, we have black, white, indian, chinese, and we just call each other Portuguese, doesnt matter were you come from or the color of your skin.

We just dont like guys from Spain...

I can not stand it any longer. You people spewing hate can go to hell. Anyone, and I mean anyone that has put on the uniform of our nations military is my brother, I do not give a shit what color the person is, met two of the RedTail pilots when I was in Cleveland, terrific human beings, proud of their service, as they should be. Anyone that has faced battle is my brother or sister, anyone that wants to comment negatively to this post can go to hell. If you have not served shut up, or enlist.

[snakedoctor262]

@justasoldier1 hoooah brother

[paullubliner]

The "Troll of Honesty" here:

1) Yes there are horrible racist comments here.

2) These plainly are not Mustangs from the 332nd FG.

[navyman4]

Hey, I watched this with my father. He is a BLACK Korean war vet. I am an Iraq Vet.

We both agree there SURE are some racist people on youtube. These comments are horrible!

[ww2guy100]

these fighters do not have Red Tails

[theFPSIreland]

@RussiaNukesAmerica3

If I wasn't so sure your a troll, I'd think you are just stupid and racist.... wait too late for that.

[theFPSIreland]

Very nice film of the P-51s. But these are not 332 FG P-51s, the 332nd being the Tuskegee airmen or "red tails".

[pacoloco729]

funny, but on close up,

the pilots appear to be

white guys, what a surprise,

lmmfao

[AndyNZ1983]

So many couch (or computer chair) experts.

Remembering all who fought, no matter what the nationality.

[namtar223]

pshh these are p-51 D's the Tuskegee airmen used the C's. they also flew the P-40's, P-39's, and the p-47's

[pacoloco729]

this could be any squadron not red tails

let's keep on ignoring truths in order to

keep the minorities happy, bullshit

[IHS7]

@pacoloco729 we've been putting up with white man bullshit for 200 years, let us have ours.

[pacoloco729]

@IHS7 you assholes have your bullshit that white men have been putting up with for

those same 200 years, we have seen the lying movies before, no need to make any

more, fuck off

[IHS7]

@pacoloco729 As if any movie is 100% accurate. Go Fuck Your Self General Patton.

[pacoloco729]

@IHS7 not talking about any movie, just this one

so you fuck off, malcolm x

[OBAMASTINKSLIKEANAPE]

@IHS7 The problem with your crap movie, which has generated shit results in the box office and will be pulled within a week, is that it contains at least two false statements which are an insult to anyone who flew combat or served on a bomber crew.

[IHS7]

@OBAMASTINKSLIKEANAPE CRY BABY CRY BABY stick your head in GRAVY. 4 More YEARS of OBAMMY, MAMMY! IN THE NAVY!

[johnboygotti]

@OBAMASTINKSLIKEANAPE yea you right one false statement was thaT the white pilots were chasing glory and killS and thats why they were leaving the bomber planes UN PROTECTED but inreality they were leaving the bombers planes un protected because the were scared cowards and the black man had to come save yall white asses

[sampson3121]

@pacoloco729 they died for the worlds freedom

[pacoloco729]

@sampson3121 so did

many white pilots who

preceded them, this movie

is filled with the same old

racist lies, enough already

[Sw88tie]

@pacoloco729 ummm.... I see a red tails. So your point would be.

[pacoloco729]

@Sw88tie you're blind

[5speed735i]

Either my monitor needs adjustment, or those tail are not red.

[ElectraGSX]

That's right, our boys flew with the entire tail painted red. The trim tabs were painted differently for squadron ident. They flew the first Red Tail escort fighter around May '44 and it was not a Mustang, it was the Jug! The 51 came a bit later in June or July of '44.

[mijagi51]

Not Tuskegee Red Tails;

355th FG Mustangs, Eighth Air Force, USAAF; UK 1945
