So excited about this project. Hopefully there will be a lot of actual aircraft, and not just computer generated crap.

Spielberg has finally caved considering streaming content, he was against the idea of feature movies on streaming services strictly for that medium
|
Interesting fact; the Army Air Corps lost more servicemen over the skies of Europe than the entire USMC did during the war.
Like everyone else- I have high expectations for this series, and hope they do it justice. |

Masters of the Air will premiere on January 26, 2024, on Apple TV+.
The series will have a two-episode launch before airing weekly until its finale on March 15. Development on the series was first reported in 2012, but it wasn’t confirmed by HBO until a year later. The network also confirmed the return of Spielberg and Hanks, alongside Gary Goetzman as executive producers. Updates were few and far between for six years – and then came the shocking announcement: HBO wasn’t moving forward with Masters of the Air, but Apple had picked it up for its burgeoning streaming platform, making it the first project under its in-house Apple Studios production company. |

Long overdue in this format I am pumped for this. Memphis Belle was really really good but if this is anywhere near BOB or The Pacific it will be epic.

More info on the show
Though the previous two series were filled with star actors, most of the major players were still relatively unknown actors at the time who went on to have big careers. "Masters of the Air" is starting with two actors who have already been nominated for big awards: Austin Butler (Maj. Gale Cleven) was recently nominated for an Academy Award for his performance in "Elvis," while Barry Keoghan was nominated for his role in "The Banshees of Inisherin." The series is not just a reunion for Hanks and Spielberg, but many of the writers and on-set consultants from "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" are returning. Writer Jon Orloff, who adapted the first few episodes of "Masters of the Air" for the screen, also wrote "Band of Brothers" and served as a consultant on "The Pacific." The author of the book, Donald L. Miller, also consulted on "The Pacific." Directing the first four episodes of the new series is HBO alum Cary Fukunaga, whose work includes the anthology series "True Detective," as well as the James Bond film "No Time to Die." The show's creators have since distanced themselves from Fukunaga amid allegations surrounding his on-set behavior and inappropriate relationships. Since then, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck ("Captain Marvel") were called on to direct two episodes, as was Dee Rees ("Empire"). Director Tim Van Patten, who helmed the series' last episode, also directed "The Pacific." The first two episodes of "Masters of the Air" will premiere on Apple TV+ starting Jan. 26, 2024, continuing weekly through March 15. |
Excited for this. Last summer I stood on the beaches of Normandy and took it all in. I love anything related to WWII. Grandfather served in Europe.
