Masters of the Air Trailer 2

[Dadtallica]

My guess is that it will be a concurrent\parallel story line like they did in Pacific.

It may not have been have been in the book, but no law says they can't expand the storylines as an example of other Masters of the Air.

There were some historical tweaks and misses in Band of Brothers too.  I can live with a little massaging as long as they don't jump the shark.

Dang now I wish Henry Winkler was in it!

That's right... Nothing should be accurate, ever.  And if it is, it's because racism.

Meh.  My beef, if any, were the other attempts were crap.  I'd love to see a serious, nuanced depiction of the Redtails.

Band of Brothers is still the standard.  If they could produce a BoB level depiction of the the Redtails story, I would watch it in a heartbeat.  If it's good.  If it's bad, it doesn't matter what color the skin of the pilot is.

I'd love to see a BoB level anthology of the 442nd Infantry Regimental Combat Team, too.  Those are legitimate stories.  Those soldiers really went through that bias.  There is no point looking away.  It just need a better treatment than easy two-dimensional made-for-television cut-out cartoon characters.

Show me on the doll where the Tuskegee Airman in the movie trailer hurt you.

Anyone been watching?

got up to episode 3 and I'm loving it. But especially because I have skin in the game. The dropzone where i work as a cameraman filmed a whole bunch of the bail out stunts, our camera man Paulo filmed over 50% of the shots in the final cuts and Mikey the other 50%. Was a lot of fun working on the airfield during the project. Seeing the stuntmen all dressed up in sheepskins and mae wests, chucking out round canopies after simulating a bailout from our jump plane. The scene in episode 3 where the young crewman cannot help is friend babyface out of the ball turret I can picture our Pac in place of the B17.

Cool series, they've done it real justice and the CGI is so beautiful.

The third episode was better.  Understandably they had to spend first two setting up the characters and situation.  World-building in writers speak.

Now they can start the story proper.

While there are probably not enough of the vets left to bookend the episodes with interviews, they could have used historians like Ken Burns' Civil War series.

If the rest is as good or better than ep. 3 (though not perfect)  then I will be happy.

Sweet that you got to work on it!

I am liking the series a lot.  I think they are doing a great job.

I wish you could join us in the Masters of the Air scenario that is running Saturdays.  But the time in the UK would be quite difficult, starting at Sunday, 1 am London time.

Wasn't sure I was going to like the series but episode 3 stepped it up a couple of notches.

Would love to Brooke, many happy memories of the events here. Unfortunately now with a family and pushing on in years myself, I think my days of staying up until dawn playing games are now few and far between.

I'm only 41, but I'm feeling the time zone differences more than when I started AH at 17
