Anthony Hemingway is set to direct Red Tails, the story of the first group of black pilots to serve as pilot escorts to bombers. Although their ability to fly had been questioned on racist grounds, the Red Tails' record in the sky was so impressive that they became heavily in-demand to lead bombing runs over Italy and Germany in the last year of the conflict.
