DREAMING EAGLES (2015)

"Inspired by true events, Dreaming Eagles tells the story of the first African American fighter pilots to join the United States Army Air Force in WWII and whose humble beginnings in Tuskegee, Alabama propelled them into the deadly skies above Adolf Hitler's Third Reich. Not only were they instrumental against the Nazi war machine, but also braved an equally great challenge, overcoming everyday bigotry amongst their fellow American soldiers as well as civilians at home. High in the heavens, they fought a battle that would change their country and their world forever. Industry legend Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys, Hellblazer) joins artist Simon Coleby (2000 AD, The Authority) for this high-flying tale of love, war and family."

"Reggie Atkinson continues the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, from their training as fighter pilots to their first combats as they fly against the German forces occupying Sicily and Italy. The men of the 99th Fighter Squadron do not lack spirit- but the opposition have years of experience and vastly superior aircraft. Reggie and Fats must fly for their lives, ever conscious of the racial bigotry that sets them apart from other American squadrons..."

"The 99th Fighter Squadron sees their first success in combat on the Italian peninsula, but their leader still finds himself forced to testify in their defense in front of Congress. Institutionalized bigotry continues to dog the unit's footsteps. But change is in the air, and soon the Tuskegee Airmen will be tested as never before... "

"writer: Garth Ennis artist: Simon Coleby color: John Kalisz cover: Francesco Francavilla The next chapter in the saga of the Tuskegee squadrons begins, as new aircraft give them the capability to escort American bombers deep into the heart of the Nazi Reich. But the German air force is far from defeated, and its pilots will fight tooth and nail to defend their homeland. And in the war-torn skies of occupied Europe, friends can prove just as deadly as any foe..."

"As the bombing campaign against Hitler's Reich gets going in earnest, the Tuskegee squadrons find themselves facing the elite of the German fighter force. But as word spreads of the red-tailed Mustangs and their exploits against the foe, not everyone on the American side is 100% behind them "

"FINAL ISSUE. In the skies above the Nazi capital, the men of the 332nd fight their ultimate battle, assuring their place in history for all time. But back home in the US a violent welcome awaits, and Reggie and Fats discover the terrible cost of progress. The legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen is not one all Americans can accept "
