The True Story of Jesse L. Brown's Tragic Plane Crash & Thomas J. Hudner's Heroics | Smithsonian

Ойын-сауық

Growing up in the segregated South, Jesse L. Brown was determined to become a Navy pilot. In 1948, he defied the odds to become the first African-American to train as a Navy pilot-and while he was met with predictable hostility, he earned the respect of many of his fellow navy pilots.
On December 4, 1950, African-American Navy pilot Jesse Brown was shot down, behind North Korean enemy lines, during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in the Korean War. Unable to rescue him, his wingman, Lieutenant Thomas J. Hudner Jr, did the unthinkable: he crash-landed his own plane so that he could reach his friend and try to save his life.

I felt touched by the movie that led me to purchasing a model plane, not a plane. A F4U and I am currently building it. I also heard of and will not forget the brave Red tails.

So glad to see these hidden stories told yet many don't want it to be taught or shared. Great movie.

    OK I just finished watching the film devotion in the credits. They talk about trying to bring Jesse’s body home but I think they really messed that up. The reason I say that is because his body was incinerated. Now I’m just kind of pissed off by the fact that, despite their best to try and make this a good movie, they sort of left out the hardest part about why it was so difficult to get Jesse out. Such as when Hudner crashes his plane he gets out of his cockpit in real life. Snow is up to his waist in the film the snow is not even up to anything he has the freedom to move around. maybe they just didn’t have the budget to literally do that or something along with the fact that it was on a mountain that wasn’t even surrounded by trees.

    @@Pokerjinx My father was a forward observer w 1st Marine Div. at Chosin Reservoir. After he retired from Northrop Grumman in 1996, he joined the Chosin Few Association. I attended many cookouts, conferences and informal holiday get togethers with his buddies. The Navy fliers suppressed the (all black clad) Chinese and Korean troops so Chesty Puller could lead my father (who had -20 F frostbite and white phosphorus scars) and the Marines to the US Navy transport ships.

    I love that this story is one of an amazing black man that no doubt faced hardships most can’t know; and he endured to simply be a loyal man. And then there’s that color made no difference to those that weren’t ignorant like many and some still are. Hudler has as much character as Jesse. Both brave amazing men and a breed I don’t see much of these days. Viking funeral was fitting. This story should show one thing: Nobody should be defined by anything but their character. The rest means nothing.

    If there’s one thing we can learn from him and his story is that it all starts with a vision. A dream. You don’t have to think and believe what you’re told. With a little imagination you can begin on a journey that will turn out to be something everyone who ever encounters your or your name will revere, love and respect. As a man that’s the ultimate win. You can’t really ask for more from this life we live. Plenty lived and died denying themselves the right to dream and think differently, they played it safe and when they look back at the life they lead they come to realize they haven’t lived at all
