Debuting just days before the theatrical release of the George Lucas-produced film Red Tails, which was inspired by the story of the Airmen, The Tuskegee Airmen is encased in a stunning 32-page hard-bound book featuring sweeping unit and historical photography.
Featuring an outstanding cast lead by two-time Emmy® award winner Laurence Fishburne (Miss Evers’ Boys, Tribeca), Academy Award® winner Cuba Gooding Jr. (Jerry Maguire) and Emmy® nominee Malcolm-Jamal Warner (The Cosby Show), The Tuskegee Airmen tells the story of the first squadron of African-American pilots allowed to fight for their country.
It is 1943 and the Germans are winning the Second World War as the U.S. suffers huge losses on the ground and in the air. Four newly recruited pilots are united by a desire to serve their country, at a time when African-American flyers are not welcomed in the Air Force. Now, through the brutal demands of their training, to the perils of flying over nations at war, the men they call “The Tuskegee Airmen” must undertake the riskiest mission of their lives -- to prove to America that courage knows no color.
