elan butler as lieutenant robert j. shoens (as pictured, shoens eventually becomes a captain, tho butler’s cv has him down as a lieutenant)

james bamford as staff sergeant edward (edmund?) a. musante (i might be going a little crazy, but i think his name is wrong on many websites! he’s edward on the official 100th bg website and on bamford’s cv, but he’s edmund on the american air museum website and findagrave. for all i know, the guy probably went by “eddie” or “ed” and somewhere along the line, someone made a recordkeeping mistake. and, yes. that is the clearest verifiable photo i could find of him. squint, and you might trick yourself into seeing his face)

bradley banton as lieutenant colonel lee “buddy” archer (another tuskegee airman!)

there’s also cameron jack as “jack”, david austin-barnes as “jimmy”, kojo quainoo as a weather officer, david angland as a prisoner of war, martin bassindale as a recent arrival kriegie, and eric sirakian as “thorpe abbot” which is confusing because that is the name of a Place, not a Person.
