The Marine Corps’ F-35B Lightning II made its first landing Monday aboard a Navy warship at sea, the service announced. The hop apparently was uneventful and the landing, aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp, went exactly as predicted.

This is the trailer for Paths Of Hate, an upcoming short animated film directed by Damian Nenow. I got a chance to see the making of it while I was at Vancouver SIGGRAPH 2011. It’s one of the most impressive piece of work I have seen there and I can’t wait to see the full short when it becomes available.

Red Tails is an upcoming film directed by Anthony Hemingway, from a script by John Ridley and story by executive producer George Lucas. It is based on the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African American combat pilots during World War II.

In researching the film, Lucasfilm invited some of the surviving Tuskegee Airmen to Skywalker Ranch, where they were interviewed about their experiences during World War II. Lucasfilm was also given access to the original mission logbooks used by some of the pilots.

I haven’t seen this type of movie for ages so I am definetely looking forward to it!
