Synopsis

This is an extraordinary drama about the Tuskegee airmen, America's first black fighter pilots.

The play opens at a reception honoring the airmen and Gen. Colin Powell.

As the elderly WWII pilots reminisce, they are joined by their younger selves and the story of this brave company is retold.
