George Lucas strikes again...
Looks cool! Screen play by Ridley Scott. Tuskegee Airmen. I hope to God it doesn't come off like a WW2 black Top Gun. Those guys were the shit and deserve an honest portrayal!

Yeah I saw that one. It was ok and followed their story well but left out alot of action. But I bet the Lucas one will have some really dramatic flying footage, CGI or not.
I also saw their story on "Dogfights" on the History channel, top stuff...

They never lost a bomber under their watch. If George Lucas writes the script, it will suck. He is such a control freak, that I would be surprised if he doesn't smother the talent associated with the film. I'm not holding out much hope. Shame really. Some of the best, most talented pilots of WWII are unknown.

Fake hair...... there's not too many people his age with a straight-across hairline.
Also how about making a movie about other military specialties, like tank drivers, combat controllers, PJ's, combat engineers, etc...... Pilots get too much glamour IMO. |

Forget about Red Tails, how about that hot chocolate standing next to him? I'd like to have some of that black tail.
