  • Can't wait to see this movie. I owe a lot to the Tuskegee Airman for Blazing The Trail for me. Their accomplishments were my inspiration to become a Military Pilot in 1957.

  • i love black history....it always amazes me.

    Francis Dickson taught the airmen high school reading and writing at Tuskegee prior to deployment. They were not middle class.

  • Believe it or not i saw the Tuskegee airmen this morning, I'm in the skyline aeronautics cluster here in Dallas Tx, and i got the chance to see the movie at the theaters with them. I have pics to prove it too.

  • @wyrrorkynng1 You're incorrect in your assumption that all the actors in the movie speakin what you call "an ethnic patois," or what would more correctly be termed a regional dialect, i.e., Southern US. Some of the actors do speak Standard American English in their roles; I would even venture that most do. Some speak with a regional accent or inflection. In all cases, they speak in a manner reflecting the regional diversity of the men who fought.

  • Please note how this Air man speaks above standard American English. Why does every clip from the movie have actors speaking in ethnic patois? Yes there was a hipster lingo common to black American in the 40's but most of the TG airmen were educated and from middle class families from an era when it was looked down upon not to speak the kings English.
