The film chronicles the "Tuskegee Airmen" program, a controversial military initiative designed to measure African-Americans' competence for flying the engines of war. The documentary features the stories of aviators, including pilots, navigators and bombardiers who flew during the war and the maintenance and support staff, instructors and personnel who kept the planes in the air.
