Фильм основан на реальных событиях. Третий год бушует Вторая мировая война. Театр военных действий простирается от Европы до Африки и Тихого океана. В США, на базе ВВС «Таскиги» обучаются цветные пилоты — лучшие из лучших представителей «низшей» рассы, каждый из которых, прежде чем стать курсантом, прошел долгий путь, полный унижений и презрения со стороны белых сограждан. Курсанты достойно проходят обучение, но командование не спешит отправлять их в действующую армию, не веря в возможности цветных пилотов. Вскоре группу из Таскиги перебрасывают в Западную Европу, где бомбардировочная авиация США несет огромные потери от истребителей Люфтваффе. Здесь группа получает новенькие истребители P-51 «Мустанг» и уже в первом боевом вылете сбивает несколько немецких Мессершмитов Bf-109. Поначалу, отношение белых пилотов «Летающих крепостей» к группе из Таскиги оставляет желать лучшего, но с каждым новым боевым вылетом цветные пилоты завоевывают все большее уважение.
