From the executive producers of Band of Brothers and The Pacific comes Masters of the Air, now streaming on Apple TV+ apple.co/_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.

This trailer is very polished looking. I hope they haven't abandoned the gritty realism and harsh tone that in my book is what made Band of Brothers and the Pacific the timeless classics that they are. There is a reason those two series are timeless while WWII films like Unbroken and Red Tails or the recent Greyhound with Tom Hanks on Apple TV aren't - it's the manufactured smaltz factor that the latter have. I think Butler is a fine actor, but I hope he's not over-emoting this entire series like it comes across in the trailer

The tragic hardships, struggles, sacrifices, and great losses faced by pilots, who were literally boys, of US 8th Air Force, left me in tears and on the edge of my seat…sometimes cheering them on and others grieving with them. More than that I was left with an exceptional appreciation for my freedom and the cost, in blood, that it took to achieve it. All of this was just a tiny fraction of the unsung hero’s of WWII. Definitely a MUST see..

I teared up watching this trailer, I've been waiting for this to come out ever since it was announced as a thing. My grandfather served as a bombardier in the 8th Air Force--the very group this is about, although not in the units portrayed as far as I can tell--in the war, and was shot down on his 30th and last mission just days before D-Day. He spent much of the rest of the war imprisoned in Stalug Luft III--escaping twice, staying free the second time--before being liberated by troops under the command of General Patton himself. Seeing something like this brought to the screen, with this much amazing work put into it, is something I've wanted to see in some way for the longest time, having only read his story in his unpublished memoir. He died seven years before I was born after a life that could only be described as epic. Now, his story, or what will likely be as close as it'll get to one portrayed onscreen, is finally coming, and from no less than the people who made Band of Brothers and The Pacific. To say I'm stoked is an understatement.

The old movie 12 O'Clock High was one of the factors that led me to join the Marines as an Aircrewman. I've met and spent time talking to Capt. Lowell C. Steward of the Tuskegee Airmen before his passing, as well as Jim Kunkle, my old boss' grandfather before I signed. They both told me to start shooting clay pigeons if I were to be an aerial gunner, as it was a part of their training then and is no longer a part of the current syllabus. Doing so helped me when I became qualified in Aerial gunnery, as it teaches you how to lead and lag moving targets on both sides of the aircraft. Been waiting quite sometime for this series.

Read the book for the second time this summer. It is a masterpiece. While the trailer looks nice and flashy, there is here a sort of veil of romance and bravado that is not felt in the book. The book is blood and guts and 'normal' (If you can can people that crawl into a ball turret normal) people doing incredible things. As others have mentioned, I hope they are not losing the grip on what made The Pacific, Private Ryan and especially Band of Brothers great; the grounded, uncensored, grim and realistic look, feel and sound. I think I heard something the Hanks even commented that he wanted a grimmer tone for Masters of the Air, more on par with 'Das Boot' for this one- and I am not quite feeling it from this trailer. This feels VERY Hollywood in all aspects.. 'Pretty girl back home', Slow motion explosions, sunsets everywhere...Rest assured- I will still watch it do death- I just hope they do the source material justice in all it's brutality and grit. Edit: Have now seen the first two episodes and I am sad to say the trailer is exactly what the show is; polished, romantic and with mediocre writing at best. More Pearl Harbour style than anyhing else. Sunsets, posing, stereotypes galore, apple pie, lens flares and effects defying the laws of physics. Watchable: Oh yes! Masterpiece: No. You are better served not comparing to BoB and see it very much as its own thing and enjoy the views and period detail. Despite not being up there with the best- it still has things to enjoy. Time to re-read the book.

I live in Norfolk right near Hethel where the 389th BG Liberators flew from, I also visit the 100th BG at Thorpe Abbotts where they have preserved the control tower and built a superb museum there. They have many photos of Majors John “Bucky” Egan and Gale “Buck” Cleven. There is an excellent museum in Horham too where the 95th BG were based, with the Red Feather Club and a beautiful preserved wall art of a Knight on a horse. I've been fortunate to meet many of the old Bomber boys and went to a 95th BG reunion in Dayton Ohio. I went to Westminster, Washington and flew on Nine O Nine of the Collings Foundation that sadly crashed a few years back. Wonderful men who were mere teenagers or in their early 20s when we asked so much from them in wartime. I hope this is an accurate portrayal of what they went through without glamorising it disproportionately in "Hollywood style".

Without a doubt the "Greatest Generation". Dad was a crew chief in a P-51 squadron in the Pacific. He always referred to the aircraft as "his aircraft" and always referred to them as "ships". He lost two pilots to enemy action and this weighed heavily on him for the rest of his life. On one mission "his" pilot inadvertently fired a burst of .50 cal over my Dad's head before taxi. Set his hat on fire, knocked him unconscious and gave him a concussion. The pilot shut it down right then and there and there would be no mission that day for him as the pilot was so shook up. A few nights later the pilot, hammered off his ass, came into my Dad's quarters while he was asleep all apologetic and what-not. My Dad was like, "Goddammit!!! You son of a bitch!" as sleep, I'm sure, was at a premium. 😆 🤣 I miss my Dad! 😁

They've always said it would be an anthology of 3 with the "air force side" being last and much delayed.... But really there's nothing stopping them making it an anthology of 4 or even 5. They can make the argument that a lot of it is based on books but a lot is also based on history and is hardly fiction so why not give us an epic 10-parter on tankers? It would be a brilliantly distinct 4th entry and would honestly be niche, there's not that many movies or shows about tankers that are anything close to being half-decent.

He took his bomber down in a field after returning from a mission to save from crashing in a town. Awhile back, like 10+ years, some of my relatives were invited and went over to the town for a ceremony to commemorate the soldiers on this plane for saving the town, there is a stone and a plaque there.

Back in the 80’s I crawled into the static B-17 at Chino airport and as I worked my way to the nose I heard a man talking to himself in German. When I reached the nose he turned, looked, and said; in accented English, “I cannot believe that I am sitting in a place where these great men once were.” I asked him if he was German and he said yes and that he was a young teen in the suburbs of, I want to say Marienburg but it has been a while, and he remembered that the B-17’s flew into more heavily flak defended airspace than flying over his small complex and he knew it was that they wanted to avoid any harm to he and his neighbors. I did not have to ask him why he thought that as he knew it as he listened to Luftwaffe fighter pilots. He also said that the Luftwaffe pilots, that frequented a gasthaus in his small town, would talk about how brave the Americans were, saying that they never turned back, and that they were amazed at their tenacity. As a teen he said he would never forget the admiration that the German pilots had for the men who flew the Boeings. I will never forget meeting this man as I remember holding back tears as he spoke. My dad was part of the P-51 program at North American’s Mines Field during the war, flying from airfield to airfield in “Dutch” Kindelberger’s B-25 NA 40-2165 with Tex LaGrone. He always talked about the laminar air flow wings of the P-51, that helped give it long-legs with less drag, a tighter turning radius and prevented compressibility. They could fly to Berlin.
