Pretty much. It's an argument I have with a lot of boomers because they love worshipping it. I don't respect any of the aces from the latter half of the war, going up in a late model mustang in 1945 and blowing up 18 yo krauts with all of 20 hours total time isn't the most amazing accomplishment. Same with the japs. A guy in a Wildcat in 1941 taking on zeroes is a hell of a lot more badass than a guy with a hellcat in 1945.

I did a thread on it and that's what I recall, the red tails weren't anything special, they just got Mustangs with long enough legs to provide cover the whole way (as opposed to the older lightnings, thunderbolts, etc the other guys had used before where they couldn't cover an out and back flight, leaving them vulnerable)

I have a theory that there were elements throughout the rear echelon that knew what they were doing, it's weird how those black units on air and land only ever got permission to deploy once the greatest danger had passed - almost like some jew was running PR for his grandson to trump up. Once the real danger passes and you can start mopping up, you push the white boys forward and let the blacks "secure the area"
