The State

If you want to see some actual footage of the Tuskegee Airmen featured in the recent move "Red Tails," go online to the University of South Carolina’s Moving Image Research Collection.

The two-minute black-and-white video shows a crew of Tuskegee Airmen preparing for a bombing mission.

The footage was shot by the U.S. Army Air Corps and distributed to Fox Movietone News, a portion of which is owned by the University Libraries.
