TUSKEGEE — War Screenplay

Captain Marcus Davis flies bomber escort out of Ramitelli in 1944. When his wingman puts a burst into his engine at twenty thousand feet, Marcus survives the crash and wakes up in a barn surrounded by partisans who think he stole the uniform. Proving who he is means producing evidence the Army never intended anyone to find. Exposing the sabotage means ending the Tuskegee program that his entire community has bled for. The colonel who ordered his death is counting on Marcus's loyalty to the uniform to keep him silent.

A Tuskegee Airman is shot down over Italy by his own wingman on the orders of a racist colonel. The Italian partisans who find him will not believe a Black man could be an American pilot. To prove his identity he has to expose a secret that will destroy the only program giving men like him a chance to fly.
