Masters of the Air

[plastickjunkie]

Just finished watching the mini series. It was very well done and had outstanding special effects. Makes one appreciate even more what those brave men went thru watching the carnage and death aboard the Fortresses often not detailed in documentaries. Watch this and get a first hand account how it was like to bail out of a tumbling and burning B17 then become a POW (if lucky not to get killed by civilians). A must see.

Great series, good book. If you like to read I found this to be a better read:
Three Engines, Half a Wing and a Prayer

Currently reading Masters of the Air. Will get the DVD series IF….Disney releases it.

Three Engines, Half a Wing and a Prayer is on my book wish list.

Masters of the Air.
Forgotten it already.
Unlike Band of Brothers and The Pacific which I still remember and can't wait to watch again for the third time.

Either Masters of the Air wasn't very memorable or just not that good.
While I agree, the little details about B17 interiors and what the pilots endured, it just didn't have any life or staying power for me.
I was disappointed.

I agree 100%. I was bored by episode 7 and didn't even bother to watch episode 8. It was disappointing for sure.
