      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on a true story, The Tuskegee Airmen takes us back to 1943 at the heat of the Second World War. At a Tuskegee, Alabama training facility, a small group of black soldiers have been brought here to receive training as fighter pilots in the U.S. Army Air Corps. At that time, these men were not particularly trusted by others members of the corps and worked with dedication to prove their courage by taking on the most dangerous missions. An excellent made-for-cable film. (Laurie Sevano)
