COM TAC 303 - stillborn Red Tails movie

[Chris Brame]

James Farmer's book Cellluloid Wings mentions several unproduced or uncompleted aviation war films in its appendices; one was a stillborn 1970s production entitled COM TAC 303 that was about the all-black fighter squadron now seen in Red Tails. Does anyone have more information on this one?

FWIW I found references to it on Page 19
