The "red tails" were great.. but we had total air dominance and superior planes at that point in the war. But what they really showed was that the "inferiority" of the black man was a total myth and they should have been trained to fly and fight and given equal opportunities and integrated right from the start.
I should add.. who was at home building those superior planes? everyone NOT fighting... women, the older folk, the 4Fs, skilled workers of every "color".
