👑The Fall Off 👑

Jesse LeRoy Brown’s story is a remarkable one. He overcame poverty and entrenched racial segregation in the pre-War south to attend university, earn his pilot wings and become a skilled aviator all by the time he was 23. He was the first Black man to be trained by the U.S. Navy as a naval aviator and became the first Black aviator to see combat.


"Devotion" follows the incredible true story behind the book "Devotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and Sacrifice," written by Adam Makos (via Collider). The plot follows two aviation pilots who come from different backgrounds but learn to work together for the greater good of their country in the middle of the Korean War.
The first pilot is Jesse Brown (Majors), the son of a sharecropper who would become the first Black carrier pilot in the Navy. He risked his life for his country while facing discrimination back home. The second is Tom Hudner (Powell), who had a dissimilar upbringing. He came from a massively wealthy family, spending more of his time in country clubs than dealing with the plights of the majority of Americans. However, when the war broke out, he rejected the opportunity to attend Harvard to help out with the fight.
