Corrected entry: During the pilot training segment, Lt. Glenn informs the men that he is the only aviator with combat experience, however, Major Joy is wearing a purple heart, which is awarded only for a blood-drawing injury received during combat.
The Tuskegee Airmen (1995)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Robert Markowitz
Starring: Laurence Fishburne, Courtney B. Vance, Allen Payne, Malcolm-Jamal Warner
Factual error: The IOWA airman had a very wrong pronunciation of the town of Ottumwa. He pronounced the U as in TUBA, when in fact, it is pronounced as in TUMS. I checked with older residents, and they agree, it has always been pronounced the same.
