REEL SIX: UPP

摘要

This is the final mission. The Tuskegee Airmen are now in their new P-51s. But, the Germans have transitioned to the Me 262 jet fighters, which gave them a 600 mph tactical advantage over the P-51 's 400 to 500 mph speed. In this mission, the airmen are providing cover for the first bombing of Berlin, and we see a fleet of bombers and fighters. Then the German jet fighters show up and we transition to just one or two. "There's a dogfight scene where the Red Tails, the Tuskegee Airmen, shoot down the first of the German jet fighters," says ILM's Craig Hammack, visual effects supervisor.
