All I can say is this,… if there are no pictures, I’m screwed.

At least on FireTV stick, AppleTv has a 3 month trial.  Which would cover the series.

As mentioned already if they would start and/ or stop the episodes with actual stories from the crews it would be much better...



The German perspective angle would expand the experience...to show that they weren't all crazy Nazi and had real concerns about the sanity of their leaders ...

I'm finding the serious to be "OK", but the air combat scenes just feel very...off to me.

The L/W fighters seem to be moving at mach 2, even when approaching the B17 formations from the rear, they zip by so fast you can barely, barely see and track them on screen.  Same with the tracers, they look to be moving at rail gun velocities, and it makes the CGI look even worse IMO.

I can't be the only one who is seeing it this way...

You’re not. It’s definitely just ok, not particularly good or bad.

Thanks for posting that!  Excellent!

I think a reason for lack of people talking at end of episodes is that there might not be many or any around anymore.

When I lived near Seattle, the Museum of Flight would, every few months or so, have panel discussions of WWII pilots.  It was AWESOME.  I got to hear their stories and meet them afterward.  But over time, there were fewer and fewer available to do it.

I think that there are enough recordings from the vets on both sides that those interviews could have been patched into the beginning of the episodes (and the endings too) and that real touch would have improved it immensely...it was some of the best parts of Band of Brothers for us..

I was saying to Perd and Spike on our Discord that I'd love it if there was some inside joke with the production where the German aircraft shown are always different than what the spoken line ID's them as being.

I think the show is 0-2 on correctly ID'ing German planes, through 2 episodes.
Ahhh. I deleted my discord when I got some notices that my account had been compromised or something to that effect. It’s been a long time since I’ve disgraced the virtual skies. Been watching AH YouTube videos a lot lately.. sad. Feel like a house cat staring out the window all day. I should get a divorce, adulting is a drag.

Yeah, I liked that a lot in Band of Brothers.  It was cool also not knowing the guys' names until the end.
