Yeah it's on my list to watch. I'm taking a short break from the misery of war though!
They are also shooting another show ‘masters of the air’ for Apple TV. Same people behind that as band of brothers and the pacific.
Hell of a bump, but I did a search and couldn't find a dedicated topic. Episode 1 is now out. Very good so far. Not sure if it will show the horror as much as BoB and The Pacific, but it's basically the stuff the Memphis Belle movie used to embellish the story for that film. Except of course, this is as true an account as the earlier series.
Feels a bit weird to be back watching that kind of a quality war drama after all this time. Very hard to put it into context in the modern day, where even landing a plane was a bit life or death without the threat of Nazi fighter planes.
