“It was a time in history that we should be very proud of. It’s a time in history when we helped change the world. And I think we set the star very, very high for anybody who’s following us.”
– Roscoe C. Brown, Jr.
As World War II threatened the United States, young African-Americans took a new opportunity to become military pilots. From their training in Tuskegee, Alabama and combat missions over Africa and Europe, to the continued fight for equality at home, “Double Victory” is the story of the Tuskegee Airmen in their own words.
Made by Lucasfilm’s documentary team, “Double Victory” was produced and written by Jennifer Petrucelli with associate producer Summer Wilson, senior producers Sharon Wood and David Schneider, and editor Joe De Francesco.
