Saltzman Sees...The Tuskegee Airmen (1995)

The Tuskegee Airmen is the true story of how a group of African American pilots overcame racist opposition to become one of the finest US fighter groups in World War II.  A special project is begun by the US Army Air Corps to integrate African American pilots into the Fighter Pilot Program. Known as the "Tuskegee Airman" for the name of the airbase at which they were trained, these men were forced to constantly endure harassement, prejudice, and much behind the scenes politics until at last they were able to prove themselves in combat.

Laurence Fishburne, Allen Payne and Cuba Gooding Jr. star in this movie about racism, perseverance, and courage.
