Double Victory spotlights the historic role of the Tuskegee Airmen
during World War II, revealing the ways these African Americans
bravely fought a war on two fronts: they helped the world triumph
against fascism abroad and they fought valiantly for racial justice and
equality at home. Though the Tuskegee Airmen faced the enormous
challenges of discrimination from military officers, inferior equipment
and heightened scrutiny, these pilots and their support personnel
excelled. Featuring many Tuskegee pilots who tell powerful stories of
their experiences during the war, Double Victory shows how these
airmen helped defeat fascism in Europe and helped inspire the
Civil Rights Movement upon their return.

Double Victory fits well with History, Social Studies, Black Studies and
Global Studies courses, and would be a great documentary to show
