Here is a video from last nights NBC Nightly News with a reunion of Tuskegee Airmen and other pilots. Neat little video.

Some more of the same interview.

To all the Tuskegee Airmen
Well done to the brave men who face death to protect our Country and others in it's hour of need. WELL DONE!

Indeed...and not only to the men of the 332nd FG/477th BG, but also to the men of the 483rd BG who were transported "into the future" by a chance snowstorm...and all the other valiant members of The Greatest Generation who fought the war that had to be won. As the announcer on that interview notes, we are losing them at a prodigious rate (for instance Ken Dahlberg, as has been noted elsewhere on WIX just this week).

The story of that week the 483rd spent weathered-in at Ramitelli would make a superb film on its own...the Tuskegee story in microcosm.

And, germane to the Battle Of Britain film thread, it was neat to see more of the CGI from the upcoming "Red Tails" George Lucas flick, too. Some of it looks too videogame, but some of the less frenetic sequences look really topnotch. And there were actual Mustangs and Kittyhawks used in the film, too. I look forward to its release here in Canada...
