Though formerly frowned upon due to their race, the Tuskegee Airmen begin to gather respect from white counterparts. The respect is not only being voiced vocally, but they are even allowed into "whites only" clubs and events. The pilot who was captured during their first mission is sent to a POW camp, which he and other POWs attempt to escape. The escape works, but he selflessly sacrifices himself so other POWs can get away. One of the POWs that got away goes to the 332nd's base and tells of his heroics, and they assume he was killed.
The Tuskegee Airmen are now given the job of escorting the first American bombers to Berlin. The 332nd is only needed for the first leg of the mission, but because the squadron suppose to take over for the 332nd for the second part never shows, they decide to go all the way. During the mission, they are attacked by the Germans, and though major underdogs, they are take a few down. The attack doesn't end perfect, however, as one of the airmen is killed protecting another.
In the end, at the funeral of the fallen airmen, a former pilot is reconnected with the fighters. The pilot taken as a POW arrives at the funeral, and though previously assumed dead, is somehow alive and reunited with the 332nd! Eventually, the airmen are awarded Presidential Unit Citation to honor their amazing accomplishments!
