The Tuskegee Airmen
A top flight cast of actors star in this true story of the 'Fighting 99th' - the first squadron of black combat fighters in World War II. Battling against prejudice and humiliation, along with the distrust and vengeful behaviour of senior white officers, the squadron went on to shoot down more than 400 German aircraft without losing a single plane to enemy fire in more than 200 bomber escort missions. Starring Laurence Fishburne, Cuba Gooding Jr, Andre Braugher and John Lithgow as Senator Conyers.
