The project involves the restoration, exhibition and maintenance of a World War II P-51 Mustang flown by the United States Air Force 332d Fighter Group.

In addition to increasing awareness of the travails of the Tuskegee Airmen, this film served to highlight the Red Tail Project fundraising effort to rebuild the plane after a 2004 crash.

The film was initially broadcast and released on DVD in 2007 in the director's home state of Ohio, winning local Emmy Award recognition.

[2] The film sheds light on the bravery and heroism of the Tuskegee Airmen in their service as bomber escorts for the Allied Forces in the European Theatre of World War II.

When White heard Don Hinz had been killed in a crash of that very same plane, he felt compelled to do a story focusing on it.

When researching the film he noticed a lack of resources about the Tuskegee Airmen and felt driven to fill the void.

[10][11] The film debuted in western Ohio at Wright State University on March 22, 2007 at which time a two-disc DVD was made available.

[16][17] The DVD release includes a second disc with four hours of additional interviews, deleted scenes, and productions stills.

A reviewer from Flight Journal, feels the DVD package will connect with an audience of actual and aspiring restorers of military combat aircraft, which sometimes referred to as warbirds.
