The film introduces a team of outstanding black pilots in World War II. These pilots, despite facing racism, overcame all difficulties in training and fighting. They were not only soldiers, but also protectors of the bomber squadrons and the people behind them.
Red Tail emphasizes the racism that the pilots had to endure, from high-ranking officers to the government. However, they did not give up. They proved their abilities, completed their missions excellently, and protected their teammates and the bombers. Courage and team spirit are elements throughout the plot.
Red Tail also clearly shows the goals of these pilots: to protect other soldiers, to protect the country and to protect the families waiting for them at home. They fought for innocent people.
Red Tail emphasizes the solidarity, courage and sense of responsibility of the pilots. The team's goal is clear: protect the bombers, complete the mission, and return home safely to their families.
