Why did they use white parachutes in war film did they actually use them

Yes, they were made out of pure Silk. Silk is white & I don't think they dyed any of them. White bleads in with cloudy skies. Ships are Grey to blead in with the ocean & background. Parachutes were made by women not to far from where I live in Virginia. Manufactured In Orange County During World War 2.

Saw this back in the 70s when I was in the 3rd grade. Love this movie!

Watched this movie back in the 1970's on ABC's Movie of the Week with my dad who served during WWII in the US Coast Guard aboard the ship GM Randall AP115 as one of the few black sailors on board. One story he talked about for years was the transport of 700 Polish orphans from India to New Zealand known as the "Wellington 700". During a 2005 reunion with some of his shipmates in Las Vegas a guest speaker came up to my father unexpectedly and told him she was one of the children whom he had given their first taste of ice cream during the voyage 60yrs prior.

Love this movie. It was full of powerhouse actors Billy Dee Williams, Glynn Thurman, Robert hooks and Richard Pryor who was a comedian but also an excellent actor. I love him. He saved their asses in the end. I just finish watching Robert hooks and Cicely Tyson in another great movie. Keep em coming!

WALTER SLOAN JR. THIS IS A VERY GOOD MOVIE TO WATCH, EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH IT.

The old Guasti winery in Rancho Cucamonga was a great place to film WWII movies. I used to pass it everyday on my way to Chaffey College.

I was proud to know Alex Chapell, a black man, Ret. Master Sargent, US Marine Corps. WWII Vet served in the Pacific and then a Master Drill Sargent until he retired. He was my work supervisor when I was in college. A good and kind man although more strict with the guys. The US military ended segregation before the war was over. (No one had Afro's or beards/mustaches in the military during WWII or anyone in service, not regulation) Blacks fought in the Revolutionary War, Civil War, Indian Wars. Spanish American War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afganistan and multiple other conflicts to this day.

Actually moustaches were allowed as long as they were kept trimmed. Beards weren't allowed, but in combat personal grooming had to take a back seat so some men did sometimes have beards until they could remove them, but afros...no way.

Amazing.. ! ! Thanks ! !

I first watched this movie on ABC'S Movie of the week, it was televised on a Tuesday. The year was 1970 and I was 11yrs old and ALL I wanted to do was join the Army.......ALL THE WAY!!

One of the interesting stereotypes in here is that Blacks were considered better with knives than with guns.

It's about mentality not about physical age. So if a physical body is aged 30 but has the mental capacity of a chid. Then mentally he is still a boy. An obvious lack of basic adult skills is an obvious sign.

Davegauvin I hear you man. I also grew up with black people and my Mexican people in the same neighborhood and schools. We were tight. Later on I bought my first house in a mixed community in San Diego where I was born and raised. My kids grew up without prejudice or hatred towards anyone except when it was a personal dispute. I also coached football teams for mixed race teams. The house I bought was in a mixed race community and was made up of Mexicans blacks whites Asians and Pacific Islanders. And everyone got along well with many friendships. Just reminiscing …

Yes Carter's Army is the original title but for some reason it was changed to Black Brigade they should have been named Black Platoon all the Stars were brilliant in this movie RIP Aaron Spelling, Elders Moses Gunn, and Richard Pryor!

So far so good...

I believe this movie needs re-done with more input from black veterans of WWII. Desegregating the troops started in WWII but not full desegregation, and to me that is a part of history we should never forget. It was a slap in the face to thousands of black men who enlisted only to be given service jobs like the men in this movie. That really happened it was disgraceful and wrong, but it did happen, and we shouldn't forget it. I firmly believe that when we forget history it will repeat it's self, and history like this should never be repeated in anyway.
