The Tuskegee airmen [videorecording] / Rubicon Productions ; narrated by Ossie Davis ; produced and directed by W. Drew Perkins and Bill Reifenberger ; written by Bill Reifenberger ; associate producer, Alex Jennings, Anne Greene.
The story of an experiment -- "to see if Blacks had the intellectual and physical ability to fly an aircraft in combat." These pilots, trained in the "deep South," became the Tuskegee Airmen, flying combat aircraft during World War II for their country. They battled on two fronts: against the Axis powers in Europe and North Africa, and the racism at home.
