'We were the true Masters of the Air.' #MastersOfTheAir

Based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name, and scripted by John Orloff, Masters of the Air follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (the “Bloody Hundredth”) as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen, and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air. Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of Hitler’s Third Reich, is at the heart of “Masters of the Air.” Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed. And some were lucky enough to make it home. Regardless of individual fate, a toll was exacted on them all.

The series features a stellar cast led by Academy Award nominee Austin Butler, Callum Turner, Anthony Boyle and Nate Mann, who are joined by Raff Law, Academy Award nominee Barry Keoghan, Josiah Cross, Branden Cook and Ncuti Gatwa.

Hailing from Apple Studios, Masters of the Air is executive produced by Steven Spielberg through Amblin Television, and Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman for Playtone. Amblin Television’s Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey co-executive produce alongside Playtone’s Steven Shareshian. In addition to writing, Orloff co-executive produces. Graham Yost also serves as co-executive producer. Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck, Cary Joji Fukunaga, Dee Rees and Tim Van Patten serve as directors.

I would love to see something similar about the Pacific.

If you see a camouflaged plane, it's the RAF. If you see a silver plane, it's the USAAF. If you don't see any planes it's the Luftwaffe.

If it would have been 3-5 episodes longer it would have been a masterpiece

The bravado,
Considering my Grandfather flew Two Tours 64 ops in Lancasters & short Stirlings in elite 7th Pathfinder squadron & 622 Main Force.
Then signed up for a third tour of duty with Tiger Force in the Pacific.
His longest Operation was 9-10 hours to Stettin Poland.

Some people have been complaining about the CGI on this show granted they’re not as perfect as the dogfights in Dunkirk bc Nolan used little to no CGI. This shows affects are incredible although I still consider band of brothers the best of this unofficial trilogy. The pacific was a greats show didn’t get me wrong but I felt like the comrade and love amongst the men just wasn’t there in the pacific like in BOB and MOA

At first I thought this was a skit or scripted but man I realized how this is real. I hope Parker is doing good.

More epic than imax viewing of war movies. Watching WW2 always gives chills if made right.

Seguramente fue algo espectacular ver todas esos aviones juntos, tanto desde tierra como desde el aire.

My step-grandfather flew 25 missions as a navigator on B17

Please bring Vinita ma'am again. Loved her soothing way of explaining things.

[manybooks]

A mini-series based on either Neptune’s Inferno or The Fleet at Flood Tide, both by James Hornfischer, would be good.

[Christinschrader-hdio]

My dad was a pilot in ww2. They were the best of the best

[aldynoufal]

So many aircrafts, wondering how crowded when the formation get intercepted by Luftwaffe

[Demon-Slayer]

I used to live not far from the 8th air force museum in Pooler, Ga. Definitely a good place to visit.

Messerschmitt Me 262: "Hello there"

[DyInG_SpEcTeR]

The markings on the B-17’s are inaccurate for 1945 but notice that the P-51’s have the correct one

يكون الله في عون من يقع تحت رحمة تلك طائرات لعينه!
