I will never cease to be amazed at how well British actors do American accents.

[sphmoran]

I'm glad that these 2 actors' careers are soaring high. Both are so talented, humble and good-looking.

Just finished the series. I cried my eyes out! I'm Dutch and my father wouldve been 100 yo. He never realy talked about the war but we just knew.... My respect to these 2 actors, so talented so humble. I lost it again when they showed the pictures with the veterans.

Absolutely amazed at how well Callum and Austin executed this show. The performances are outstanding, and not being talked about enough as one of the best shows of the year. Thank you Austin and Callum for truly putting together two captivating performances.

I can’t believe Callum Turner fooled me in the show 😂 🇬🇧
I would’ve never guessed he was British

[armandoucles]

I'm a big Austin Butler fan since "ELVIS" and I think this film looks awesome. I hope he has a great, long successful career and that Hollywood doesn't try to bring him down.

Callum is a great actor, hopefully he doesn't continue to get ignored after this performance.

I just finished reading the book & it was EXCELLENT. While we didn't have anyone in the Air Corp in WWII we did have family members in both the Navy & USMC in WWII, I feel truly fortunate to have heard their stories first hand. We also had family members serve in WWI, Korea, Vietnam, & The Cold War. FLY NAVY!!!

MOST BELOVED SERIES-SERIOUSLY GREAT ACTING-FABULOUS MUSIC-THANK YOU TO STEVEN AND TOM-THE BEST OF THE

[rossstewart]

Such a amazing series and thank you to the men and women who served in the military

[AppaRappah]

I didn’t know Callum well until after this show, and I didn’t know he was British til these interviews on the show. He hits that American accent and 40’s swagger so naturally

[MRFREAK]

It hurt so much hearing the host saying "you didn't acutally pilot the jets"...

[cindythomas]

Omg I can’t wait to see this !!!!❤️❤️❤️

[TravelwithTasha]

I literally watched nine episodes in less than 24 hours. Such an incredible true story. You see how these men fought for our country and how proud they were to do it. I cried towards the end when they delivered food to the people of the Netherlands.

Well done gentleman

Callum Turner was great in a movie called Green Room, it's cool to see him get a top role like this.

[MiniT]

Callum Turner’s star is rising!! i’m getting you out of those period piece dramas!

[TheRenaissanceGuys]

12 years in the making, finally it's here!

[JflyJ]

So excited about this series, the best one I've seen in a really long time!! It's so incredibly well made, just so professional, keeps you at the edge of your seat, at the same time you feel it's authentic and really takes you back right there with them. Awesome!!

[joekimmel]

She asked them about flying the “jets” have these interviewers seen the show?
