I spent a lot of time trying trying a short video but gave up and post these screenies instead.

The Mustangs are from the 332nd Fighter Group based in Italy during WW2. They were recognised by the red tail on the aircraft. For those who may not have heard about them, they were an all American Negro Group and were the only US FG never to lose a bomber that they were escorting to enemy action. After initial apprehension by the white bomber pilots, they were soon requesting to be escorted by the 332nd. Here is one of the many articles that I gound on a Google search http://www.frankambrose.com/pages/tusk.html

There is a great video called "The Tuskegee Airmen" that I highly recomend. Great aircraft sequences and very inspiring.
