About this ebook
The new George Lucas movie called Red Tails focuses attention on the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II and their combat operations overseas. Loaded with special effects and a great cast, the movie is thrilling and inspiring, but how accurate is it historically? Military historian Daniel Haulman takes an appreciative look at Red Tails, comparing it to the actual missions of the Tuskegee Airmen and offering places where interested viewers could study the events further.
