Factual error: The markings on all German fighters in this movie are completely wrong or fictitious. Worst offender is the "Pretty boy" BF 109 with the yellow markings. Everything is non-standard, including the swastika on the tail. On top there is a SS-decal "Death's head" on the engine cowl. No Luftwaffe planes carried SS-markings. This is just some Hollywood-styling.
Red Tails (2012)
1 video
Directed by: Anthony Hemingway
Starring: Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard, David Oyelowo, Gerald McRaney, Nate Parker, Andre Royo
Factual error: Before receiving the North American P-51D Mustangs, the Red Tail squadron was using the Curtiss P-40E Warhawk. The movie shows the Warhawks being able to keep up with the German Bf 109 G-6s quite easily, fighting on even terms. In reality, the Bf 109 G-6 could easily outperform the Warhawk, being able to easily outrun and out-turn the Warhawk. Still, the Bf 109s are no match for the Warhawks.
Colonel A.J. Bullard: We have a right to fight for our country. The same as every other American.
