Not much on this new movie about the Tuskegee Airmen. The release date is still to be announced. Word has it that they'll be wearing Good Wear Jackets.

In Black Angels Over Tuskegee, which is based on true events, "six men explore their collective struggle with Jim Crow, their intelligence, patriotism, dreams of an inclusive fair society, and brotherhood as they become the first African American fighter pilots in the U.S. Army Air Forces," according to press notes.

isn't it also said that Diamond "Flighter" caps are going to be used in the movie?

The Flying Tiger discussion reminded me of this thread. IMDB says this film is in post-production.
Anyone have updates?

I can't wait for this film come out!
Interesting that Cuba Gooding is in this as well.
I'm constructing a 1/25 scale a Tuskegee airman pilot figure...
or my interpretation of one.
I've been collecting reference material for a few months now.
