Several pipes in the movie Red Tails, most notably a period appropriate full-bent Peterson that Cuba Gooding smokes throughout.
(As for the movie: It looks great, most of the details are spot on, and the aerial scenes are puttogether quite well. Plus lots of nifty warbirds. Plus it had most of the references to large operations correct. The dialogue is right out of a 1940s B movie (which is bad or good depending on perspective. I took my 9-y-0 son b/c I wanted him to know something abut the Tuskegee Airmen and it was good from that standpoint. Not too intense for a 9-y-o and just a few mild curses.)

When I lived in Detroit Coleman Young was the mayor.He was a member of the Tuskegee Airmen.Needless to say I heard a good bit about them.

I'm looking forward to seeing this film before it leaves the theater. Thanks for the mini-review. While I appreciate historical details being perfectly correct, I prefer that the details be mostly correct and the plot be excellent. I'm perfectly OK with "Thematic License". Nice to know I can bring my kids if I choose.
