The Tuskegee Airmen

About The Show

The time is 1943 and the Germans are winning the Second World War as the U.S. suffers huge losses on the ground and in the air. Four newly recruited pilots are united by a desire to serve their country, at a time when black flyers are not welcomed in the Air Force. From the brutal demands of their training, to the perils of flying over enemy territory, the men they call "The Tuskegee Airmen" must undertake the most perilous mission of their lives -- to prove to America that courage knows no color. Their success could earn them respect, save lives and help win a terrible war. Their failure could destroy more hopes and dreams than their own.
