The Tuskegee Airmen

As part of the day job involves equalities issues I always find it of interest to read about the sacrifices of minorities in World Wars One and Two. Many, such as the Annamite Tirailleurs at Verdun, are not well known, while others such as the 332nd Fighter Group, the Tuskegee Airmen, are better known (at least to those that study history).

Whatever, it is interesting to see Lucasfilm will be releasing a film about the 332nd next year entitled Red Tails which looks pretty good and hopefully will encourage more study of the sacrifices of all those, regardless or colour or creed, who fought against Nazism.
