The Red Tail Pilots On October 9th, 1940, the U.S. Army Air Corps began allowing black men to join its ranks, ushering in an entirely new era of military aviation. Over the course of the next four years, nearly one thousand pilots would go through vigorous training to become military aviators. These aviators would often be assigned the most degrading tasks the Air Corps had to offer. However they proved themselves worthy of their title by war's end; racking up 109 confirmed kills, 111 German airplanes shot down, and 150 German airplanes destroyed on the ground. They were among the finest World War II aviators.

Airbus management announced the first orders for the A3XX at the bi-annual Air Show in Famborough, England, in July 2000.

The initial orders were a positive, though not unexpected, sign. The real question, however, was whether there was sufficient long-term demand to justify industrial launch. Management believed they would break even on an undiscounted cash flow basis with sales of 250 planes, and could sell as many as 750 over the next 20 years!
