'Red Tails' New WW2 movie coming out ;)

S!

George Lucas went haywire long time ago as seen on his kiddytale Star Wars new episodes. After seeing the trailer of this WW2 film = not gonna touch it with a long pole. Same as would fire up Wings of Prey Another Pearl Harbor style shoot'em up movie..Should have made a better tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen who served their country during those times.

we had a post about this movie months ago...

I expect the movie will trivialise and cheapen the real life deeds of the Tuskegee airmen.

Just seeing the clip of the P-51 doing an Su27 style backflip is enough for me to leave well alone.

Man!!!
What ever movie they can produce about WW2 allied pilots will not get the
feeling.

German Aces where fighting 4 straight years over all europe and africa continent THERE IS THE PILOTS REAL FEELING.

Especially the last desperate years when 100 GAF pilots where opposing
1000 well fed napped and fair treated American pilots in their shiny new P51s.

100 war dogs which usually bit the odds and returned back home with 2-3 kills
and obliged to take off back again in 10 mins the most.

Maaan that's is a feeling of a pilot.

last two years americans were fighting more or less - youngsters from the LW...they were easy prey....+ as you said, the numbers were in favour of allies.....but the story of this movie is pretty much right on the spot since it was the known fact that the tuskegee airmen (who didnt got an approval for cover missions at first) were the most successful group in defending the bombers...

LOL, I thought this was another new starwars episode, they seem to have the same guy sorting out the physics of flight and Cgi for both. I would rather watch my old collection of black&white war movies and watch model planes sliding down a just visible wire guide than see more of this politically corrected
Cgi crap!
Hopefully Peter Jackson's new dam busters is better, at least he has a genuine interest in aviation!

Actually the facts are, for anyone who cares to do the research, the actual numbers of USAAF fighter pilots who confronted Luftwaffe pilots at the point of intercept, the numbers were more often on the side the of the Germans.

American pilots had to cover a huge stream of bombers, which was up to 100 km long, typically one Bomb Group of approx. 64 planes would be covered by one fighter Group of approx. 32 planes. (1943 and early '44 would see smaller numbers of USAAF fighters, Groups put up 16 planes most of the time) The Germans would not intercept the whole stream, they would concentrate on one small section. Typical intercept numbers for the Germans were in Gruppe size, (approx. 30-50 planes) and quite often two or more Gruppes would hit the same Bomb Group, the German controllers would do everything they could to concentrate attacks. If another USAAF fighter Group was closeby, it would try to intervene, but typically the Luftwaffe made one quick pass, and then dove away. Thus it was quite common to see the USAAF fighter pilots outnumbered. Of course, the Germans focus was on attacking the bombers, but they more often than not had temporary numbers advantage in fighters at the point of attack.
