Summary of Tuskeegee Airmen?

Well, this summary is a bit longer than you wanted, but it's a good one:

During World War II, Hannibal Lee (Laurence Fishburne) in getting ready to leave for Tuskegee, Alabama, is joined by other African American men from different backgrounds. At the start of their training, they are met by Lt. Glenn (Courtney B. Vance), who joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and was credited with three kills. During training, Walter Peoples III (Allen Payne), who already has a pilot's license, disobeys orders to try to prove himself to the base commander but this results in disciplinary action, so to prevent being sent home in disgrace, he decides to commit suicide by crashing his aircraft. Another cadet and his instructor are killed when they fail to recover from a stall.

Training base where Maj. Joy (Christopher McDonald) instructs the trainees for the first time.Later, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt arrives for an inspection. She chooses Lee to take her up in an aircraft. The men are eventually deployed to North Africa, as part of the 99th Pursuit Squadron, though they are relegated to ground attack missions. During the campaign, Lee's flight encounters a group of Messerschmitt Bf 109s. Ignoring Lee's orders, Leroy Cappy (Malcolm-Jamal Warner) breaks formation and attacks, downing one of them. Another Bf 109 hits Cappy's fighter aircraft numerous times, causing a fire in the cockpit and fatally wounding him. Lee drives the enemy aircraft away, but Cappy crashes.

A congressional hearing of the House Armed Services Committee is convened in order to determine if the Tuskegee Airmen "experiment" should be allowed to continue. Charged with being incompetent, a medical study is used to claim that "Negroes are incapable of handling complex machinery." The hearing decides in the Tuskegee Airmen's favor, partly due to an inspirational speech by their commanding officer, Lt. Col. Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. (Andre Braugher), and the 99th Pursuit Squadron joins two new squadrons out of Tuskegee to form the all-black 332nd Fighter Group.

The 332nd is deployed to Ramitelli, Italy to provide escort for Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bombers, which are experiencing heavy losses. During this deployment, Lee and Billy Roberts (Cuba Gooding Jr.) sink a destroyer. During a subsequent escort assignment, Roberts is shot down. Later, Lee is promoted to captain and awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. In their next mission, the Tuskegee Airmen are assigned to escort the bombers on a raid on Berlin. As time goes on, the group's reputation grows to the point that a bomber pilot specifically asks for them as escorts, even though he knows the pilots are black. He trusts the black pilots more than the white pilot escorts.
