Red Tails Movie — Today’s the Day!!!

Well, it’s January 20, 2012! Do you plan to see this exciting new movie? The retelling the Tuskegee Airman’s story is sure to impress a lot of folk who might not even know the history of this fighter group!  The editors at MAN can’t wait! Be sure to also check out our February 2012 Red Tails issue of MAN for behind the scenes information about the movie and some of the history of the actual Tuskegee Airmen!

Red Tails Tuskegee Airmen

Get your candy and popcorn ready! If you haven’t seen the trailer yet in the movies, “Red Tails” is the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American pilots to fly in a combat squadron during World War II.  Writers: George Lucas (story), John Ridley (screenplay); Director: Anthony Hemingway; Stars: Bryan Cranston, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Terrence Howard.

This promises to be the best aviation history movie ever made and it certainly makes the editors of MAN want to go build a P-51D Mustang! Check out these behind the scenes photos we found.

From ScreenRant’s Mike Eisenberg

“The first set images from Red Tails, the George Lucas-produced WWII biopic about the Tuskegee Airmen, have been unveiled. The first look behind the scenes of producer George Lucas’ World War II​ biopic Red Tails have surfaced. The last we heard from the set, George Lucas was none too thrilled with director Anthony Hemingway’s work and ordered re-shoots that he himself would direct, but that later turned out to be false. Even though these photos appear (according to the film slate) to be over a year old, an inside look is an inside look. Red Tails stars Terrence Howard​ and Cuba Gooding, Jr​. in an ensemble cast that hopes to successfully tell one of WWII’s most intriguing stories.”

  13. Watched it last night and I have to say this is a must see movie. Great fighter scenes although some unrealistic aerobatics, but otherwise enjoyed the entire movie.

  14. I went to see this movie Sunday night, after reading this review and the interview the Reverend Al Sharpton conducted on his MSNBC show Politics Nation with some of the stars, the director Hemmingway, as well as one of the surviving Tuskegee Airmen. This will go down as one of the very best war movies ever made. I may even want to see it again in the theater, and will definitely want a DVD.

    I’m so thrilled at the bravery these pilots demonstrated in the face of everything they had to face just to get in the air, let alone fly in major combat.

    I have posted several videos of people flying both real and model radio control planes on Reverend Sharpton’s Politics Nation Facebook Fan Page to let everyone know just how exciting this movie is, and how people are getting inspired by their heroics that they are now modeling to the Red Tails design as well as restoring real Mustangs to the Red Tails color scheme. I hope Reverend Sharpton is excited by what’s taking place in the hobby as well as with people with real Mustangs using the Red Tails design.

    It is very gratifying to see an often underrated and often underreported story like this finally get told.
