   I feel episode eight was almost full of nothing to be hones, first it moves back and forward in the time line because on episode seven they talk about the P-51 Fighter Yet although not much about their pilots now on episode eight they start to introduce their pilots this is why when Ltt. Alex was having a talk with Cpt. Erwin they mention how the P-40 could not hold Bombers altitude as escorts, I can see how many viewers might ask why are they talking about P-40s and escort bombers if they already did, plus they mix it with future scenes about the 100ths.

   On the plus side the P-51 fighting scenes were awesome but too short in my opinion, cant say I was not satisfied with the episode but could have been better, I guess its always like this when things are coming to an end, in this case the end of WWII when the allies invade Europe.

   Tuskegee, that's the name of this group of pilots, P-51 deadly, fast, accurate, with bases on Italy they were constantly attacking German on small size missions but very accurate on their targets and in a similar style of RAF striking at night. If they had only made this series a two season series could had more time to develop the P-51 side story but it is really about the 100th bomber squad and not about the Tuskegee, another series about them would be awesome too and perfectly complement Masters of The Air.

   

   Source

   Ltt. Alex Jefferson seem to be the character of this side of the story, same as Buck and Bucky or Rosie are star pilots of B-17, Alex is the star pilot of the Tuskegee and the P-51. At the moment of this conversation they had 500 missions done but Alex wanted more, he was eager to go deep into Germany but at the moment the P-40 would not hold up either on altitude or range for such attacks but P-51 were closer to be a reality and this new fighter jets would change everything for the Tuskegee.

   

   Source

   Episode eight demonstrate desperation on all sides, from the Germans and the Allies, at the camp Buck and Bucky are desperate to get out or for something to happen, or they make something happen. Others already try to escape and as expected they got executed when capture. At base Crosby had a 72 hours run without sleep working on routes and maps for a lot of missions, they were going hard and heavy on Europe expecting the big D day, invasion day.

   

   Source

   I hope this part of the story is true because it ads real drama to it, Crosby collapse after his third day of going, he took coffee, pills, everything he could to stay awake until nothing work for him anymore, he was going mad, started to hear things, just going through maps, planning routes and then falls face first. Crosby stay three days in bed sleeping based on a scene where Rossie was making him company, Crosby miss D day and Rosie describe how glorious it was, clear sky, not a single Luftwaffe fighter in the air and hundreds of ships arriving to the coasts of Europe, if I'm not mistaken France.

   

   Source

   On episode seven Bucky manage to build a radio out of scraps so they were keeping up with the news, this way knowing where were the allies and how soon the was was to end although that does not mean they were going to be liberated by the Germans, most likely they were going to be transfer on foot, it was not really a transfer from location but a death march, they made them march during the cold winter until they died and those who didn't die were executed, so they had to prepare to fight back when the moment was right.

   

   Source

   Gives the impression that Tuskegee were suicidal for the most part although during this series that's exactly how any men who gets in the sky looks like, Bombers were usually sitting ducks for the Luftwaffe fighters waiting to be taken apart and that's not taking in considerations the Flaks. Fighters like the Tuskegee were send usually on very very hard to accomplish missions but they could not back down, that was not on their dna, on episode eight the Tuskegee were send on a mission almost without return, the P-51 felt short in range and they knew it, even with additional gas tanks that would not compensate too much because of the weight, they are send to destroy German's radars at the coast of France as their goal but knowing that they either go down because they ran out gas or because they were shoot down, for this the pilots were given fake papers so IF they land close to a town they could blend in, this idea was absurd, what I'm suppose to do with the uniform? besides back in the day I guess English was not so dominant language like it is today, would be hard to blend in landing on France.

   

   

   I always mention how I have enjoy every single episode of this series but episode eight was my least favorite but still enjoy it, I wanted to see more of the P-51 that's all, most people will find the drama of this episode boring but it does leave with a big cliff hanger of whats going to happen today Friday 15 on episode 9, on the intro we see P-51 attacking a camp so is it the camp where they had all the pilots? also Rossie trying to get up probably after jumping ship and landing in the middle of battle field and last there is a scene were Bucky is walking almost freezing, the expectation to whats going to happen for those at the camp is what's driving the series right now, all the air battle scenes are part of the first half of this mini series making it a well balance series, not full action but not boring neither.

   I was ask the other day why do I watch this TV series about war since there is nothing good about war. This is a fact although for now nobody can stop war and yes there is nothing good about it but what attract me to this type of series is the men and women who were brave enough to step up and pull all this amazing missions and still want more, in the case of Masters of The Air, Capt. Rosie, what that men accomplish is outstanding how he flew that bomber like it was a fighter jet, on episode 7 Rosie and his crew took their 25th mission earning their ticket back home. It was never easy for them not even with clear skies, this guys were going into massive altitude, wide open windows, risk of mechanical failures, on previous episodes I constantly ask myself why don't they have a fighter jet escort but this time they did, P-51 Mustang fighter jets in action, sadly the series is almost over with one more episode this Friday so we wont see much of those fighter jets in action.

   It look like it was not all terrible for pilots once they got capture but the truth as we saw on episode six, it was bad, those that were lucky enough or fought until the end for their life like Buck did, were send to a camp, at this camp they had the very basics like water, energy, a very basic died but there were a lot of risks lick sickness or a German officer who wake up on their left foot and shoot at you. To stay inform they had a radio that some how got smuggle into the camp, Bucky was constantly on top of news and getting others inform.

   

   Source

   This was not a summer camp, it was a prison, there is no other name for that so they were constantly getting raid by German Officers looking for illegal things or weapons, again its a prison, unfortunately during one of this raids a soldier found their radio and confiscate it. I don't know anyone who speaks German but why on movies German Soldiers repeat things like 10 times? The soldier who found the radio keep repeating the same words even after he already show his superiors what he found.

   

   Source

   More missions to Germany means more casualties and their replacement were very young but at that point the base had Rosie, he was almost an idol among pilots, on top there were a couple of men who return from Europe thanks to the resistance, this gave the men hope that getting out of Europe and completing 25 missions was still possible although for Crossby there was not much hope for him to get back in the air but he was just too good of a navigator reason why he was the leader so he had to stay on the ground in an office.

   

   Source

   Nothing was easy for this men either at base or at the camps that held them prisoner, they were all prisoners of the war going on, but there was always something to hold on, some never loose hope, obviously it was not the same for all of them but they always look for a way out. In the case of new pilots they had Rosie and the guys at the camps had men like Buck and Bucky always showing the way, at the end of the day it didn't matter much how good you were at base there was always that psychological barrier that made people think they were not going to make it out so they needed brave men to show them the way.

   March 6, 1944 was declare Black Monday after an attempt attack to Berlin half of the bombers did not return, that's about 150 men lost in battle and the rest that got back were wounded and bombers heavily damage, it was the same route over and over, I guess when you are a foot soldier or in this case gun man or pilot one might think they want us all dead, its a cruel job but its a job and those who survive got the job done sadly that's how higher rank might think about their soldiers and when they are pushing to finish the job in this case invade Europe and take it back form the Germans, there was no men, pilot or soldier who was safe from going all in, men at base felt they didn't care if they all died but that's not entirely true, higher rank might not care for them particularly but do care to keep their troops alive to win the war, cant win a war if they are all dead.

   

   Source

   On episode seven Bucky demonstrate some Macgyver skills, after their radio got taken away during the last raid he built, not sure how or if its possible; a radio out of scraps that they had laying around, Buck took the task to recollect what ever Bucky ask for but more than not having the skills to build the radio they were lacking patience, every failed attempt to having working end up in a conversation to either brake out and escape or remain there to survive or die from sickness, Buck was wild and he wanted to escape but on the other end Bucky still had hopes they could survive although was aware that there was certain truth on Buck reasons to escape.

   

   Source

   Another mission to Berlin, Rosie is back after a few days off, his crew look nervous after their last attempt only half of the bombers came back, it would have been awesome to the P-51 fighters on more episodes, again there is nothing glorious about war but I can't imagine that many bombers and jet fighters in the air, look like there were hundreds from both sides, fighters destroying each others as bombers keep cruising to their targets, this was Rosie and his crew 25th mission earning their ticket back home letting those who just got in knew that it can be done but then you have to ask your self is he that good of a pilot or is he just lucky, well to come back from 25 missions during war, luck had nothing to do, Rosie or anyone else who did it was just that good, always in the edge, cool, calm, collected, always on the edge daring to do the impossible, in this case the impossible was 25 missions. After Rosie did his 25th mission, he and his crew were the last ones to reach that mark, higher rank though they had to raise the bar since they think the war is almost over so they need their men to push harder, this turn Rosie 25th mission party into sadness among other men in the base, he decided to stay and keep fighting.

   

   

   In an effort to finish my recaps of Masters of The Air this weekend I have decided to post another episode recap and I'm going to do the same for tomorrow and Saturday, at least want to keep up with this series since I'm behind posting on other series I'm watching.

   The only thing I'm sorry about is that this is a mini series, even though it only has nine episodes its very fulfilling, since its a narrated story it doesn't feel like it was rush, I can get how people might say some scenes feel cut off but its Crosby narrating a very long story so he did not had eyes everyone, he narrated what he went through its not a made up story by a studio, some scenes probably change to keep the audience interested though.

   I did mention on previous recap that most likely there were not going to be that many air battles, I think the focus has shift more into what the prisoners of war went through and men at the base, far from their loves ones, countless days without sleep, going all in to invade Europe and try to end this madness.

3. ›Masters Of The Air: Part Six - E06 - RECAP@skiptvads829d

   Source

   The show is currently on episode 8 about to finish this Friday 15, I have been keeping up with the episodes but had delays as usual to post recaps, it has been a blast for the most part but as any other mini series there are a few slow episodes. Episode six in my opinion doesn't fall into the full hype episodes and I think from here one the story is about giving some closure to all the characters, specially Crosby, Buck and Bucky. There is something unusual on this mini series, having some other strong characters like Captain Rosie who are so strong but not given enough screen time, the entire problem is that there is too much to the story that does not fit into one season and its a shame AppleTV didn't think this way, there is so much potential and they decided to make it a mini series.

   Episode six is a drama episode but starts with some action, Buck is alive, landed in Germany after he had to jump ship but he was quickly capture by locals and then detain by the Military, this episode is all about Buck. There are other characters who keep developing the story like Crosby and Rosie, both send to rest and clear their minds out of base.

   Have you enjoy Masters of The Air?

   Source In times of war must be a constant adrenaline rush to be in the middle of enemy territory, alone with just your pistol and trying to stay hidden from any pair of eyes that come across, you have to assume everyone is the enemy but can't take defense actions because you will be quickly out number, you might take out a few but once their bodies are discover a lot of heat will be after you, in a very short term this is what happen to Buck, he was found by locals and then detain.

   

   Source After the last very rough mission some of the personnel were send out to clear their mind, Crosby was send to Oxford for a conference where there would be all kind of members from the Allies Military Forces, he gets letters from his wife and before Bubbles died he was a bit dry when ever talking about her. Rosie and his crew were send out directly to a resting place, not a spa but all kind of activities to relax, as a fact that was the direct order relax, they were the only survivor of their last mission and the scene where all they see were airplane parts falling from the sky must put a lot of weigh on their shoulders, who would want to go up in the sky again after what they saw? but after all they were the only ones who came back so there must be something special about that Rosie and his crew, Co. want them back sharp as fuck but understood they have to calm down and relax after all the carnage they went through.

   

   Source Allies are starting to bomb Germany, they going deep and cities are starting to fall, Buck and some other pilots that were capture were been transport by train until they got to a point were the city was destroy and the train had to stop, from there they had to walk but the main problem were the people around them at the moment, the city just got bombarded by the Royal Air Force at night, the minute people saw American Pilots they brought down the hammer, attacking them, stab them, German Soldiers allow all this until it was enough mayhem and started to put them down one by one with a bullet to their heads, I guess it was a dramatic cliche scene but when the German Soldier tries to kill Buck, he ran out of bullets.

   

   Source Buck instead got knock out and though dead, the group of pilots were going to be burred in the outsides of the city but Buck was still alive and try to escape, he was just too weak and now military caught him again, this was the best outcome because he was either going to be burred alive or shot before been 7ft under ground.

   

   Source There were all kind of spies on both sides during war, we have seen this many times on WWII TV series recently like A Small Light, The New Look, All the Light We Cannot See, spies was a thing, probably not the James Bond type of spies just regular people that were a sell out, Germany had a lot of intel on American pilots and the moment Buck was capture they knew a lot about him, he was brought to interrogation although he as many others refuse to answer any questions other than his name, rank and serial number.

   

   Source This last four episodes of Masters of The Air I think will mostly touch on other topics than air battle, they will probably be more about the physical and psychological struggles of pilots and soldiers during war, in the case of Crosby and Rosie who have gone through so much and they are still free and alive, others with less fortune like Buck were send out to camps where all American Soldiers capture went to, on this series the camp was mostly full of Air Force members, they also show a scene how civilians were taken to work camps it was brutal to see all that people asking for help, I always see the educational side of this scenes, many jump the gun into conclusions like its propaganda on any of the two sides although all I can think is that no body should be treated this way but we also have to realize during war times this things are going to happen or worst.

   

   Source Part Six brings a now well known actress Bel Powley, from A Small Light, she now plays the role of Sandra Westgate who ends up to be Crosby roommate at the Oxford conference and they build a bond, I do not applaud cheating on your wife just for been out of the country for that long but we can't denied that the women is a key component of all adult men, some cant be without one at least for closure for a companion, Crosby has gone through so much and probably after a long time he found something of this on Sandra; their moment ended quickly this time since she was called back to HQ and had to go leaving Crosby hanging.

   

   

   As you can tell from the cover image Bucky is alive, Buck is capture and during an escape attempt re capture but it was the best it could happen to him after locals try to finish him on the streets and German soldiers participate too, the series is starting to fall mainly into drama of what the Pilots, Soldiers and regular people went through during the war, since Bucky and Buck are back together we will see the rest of the episodes leaning more into their release, escape or death, I have keep up with watching the episodes every week but this are the type of posts that takes me the most to write and haven't had the proper time, I think I might just speed run the next episodes for the rest of the week so I can finish the episode recaps on Saturday.

   It has been a blast so far watching this series, I think most people had a good time specially during the first five episodes when it was full of air battle action, sadly NOW that the allies fighters show up they will have very few minutes of screen, I kept asking to watch a battle with fighters as escorts of the bombers but so far never got it, for the ending of the series I'm open for anything, after all a lot of people were send send to death march where they either die marching on the snow or they got killed by soldiers, sad episodes but again that's how brutal war is and there is nothing we can do about it just avoid it at all costs because there is no good outcome out of war, never is.

4. ›Masters Of The Air: Part Five - E05 - RECAP@skiptvads840d

   Source

   I think Masters of The Air just peak, I cant imagine there is a better episode than episode 5, it gave us the best battle ever so far into the series with only four episodes to go, I'm still to episodes behind the latest one, just watch it last night and number five is still my favorite episode, on IMDB this episode has a rating of 8.8/10 with over 1500 users voting, the "good" thing about IMDB is the numbers although from this rating sites what is actually real?

   The drama on episode five is close to nothing, the action between bombers and fighters is as close as you see on the cover image, face to face action with bombers trying to movie as a fighter it was epic although numbers at the 100th are very low and they start to suffer heavy looses.

   Everyone at base is still grieving Bucky, specially Buck but they all have their mission clear. Crosby and the rest of the Blakely's crew barely made it back after landed on a RAF base then transport back to the base, their plane was totaled, many though they were not coming back so they clean up their bunkers early to their surprise.

   

   Source

   Everyone was glad to have Blakely and his crew back although from here on things were going to get tighter for everyone, more missions equals more possibilities to die. Apple is going to release a documentary about the 100ths, I think its from here on that they got the nickname of the Bloody 100th because of the amount of casualties, the Europe invasion was a reality but Allies knew that to accomplish this target first they had to totaled Germany Air Force.

   

   Source

   Buck was blood thirsty, after Bucky went down he was not the same anymore, something I think had to be a lie is that this guys were drinking every fucking day, come on I don't think this was true who can actually concentrate to flight a plane been this drunk and hang over every day, still this is TV right?

   

   Source

   Pilots and crew were soon to understand that they were going to flight almost every day, in real world not even commercial pilots have this amount of hours in the air now imagine flying during the conditions they had, -50c was mention on a previous episode, low oxygen, at war. Some pilots and crew were concern but not Buck, he was dead center on the mission and even had to pull rank on some of his friends so they keep their shit together and understand that is just war after they start talking about their next target, how many women and children were going to die, all Buck wanted was to flight and drop bombs.

   

   Source

   Crozby was now lead navigator, he had to prepare routes and give instructions to on board navigators, a job he got after a few risky missions he came back from even leading the pack once when he cover for his friend Bubbles, not knowing that this was the last time they would talk. Not only this mission give us the best air battles but also the mission with the most casualties, I wonder if this was close to real events and its true that almost all 17 bombers went down.

   

   Source

   Like it was not enough that they were only 17 bombers in the air but they were falling behind fast, the moment they arrive target four already bail because of mechanical malfunctions, on top heavy flak got them hurt badly. On the above image you see the bombardier face when he listen to all the German Fighters coming down on them, it did look like they were hundreds I cant imagine the noise from all those planes in open air going full throttle.

   

   Source

   Buck had to bail too, their bomber got hurt badly by the Flaks and the fighters latter on but in a sense they were lucky to be hones because what was waiting for them up there was no joke, they manage to drop bombs and there was still more on this episode but as usually I'm only going through the basics and not giving away all the action.

   

   

   This is the episode when Crosby started to suffer psychologically after loosing so many friends, only 17 bombers they had left and went up. Buck went down, they were on top of Germany so this was different than the previous mission when others landed in Italy, France or even at sea. This time anyone who survive the air battle but their bomber went down they were landing on Germain soil, enemy territory so getting out of there without help from the resistance was almost impossible.

   I agree with many comments online that some times it feels like the story doesn't have proper structure and jumps from one topic to the other but there were so many things going on at once and so many stories from different characters that is difficult to focus on just the three main Buck, Bucky and Crosby, I understand how people might say this series is hard to follow and can even be consider boring but I assure you that is not the case if you know how to follow it and put together the details.

5. ›Masters Of The Air: Part Four - E04 - RECAP@skiptvads848d

   Source

   

   As any other series after a couple of episodes with serious action it had to cool down, still showing those cool shots of how bombers get wreck by Flaks during those times, this time Buck and Bucky had to go all the way to Africa, after finally dropping bombs on German ball bearing factories but loosing most of their squad bombers were totaled, they were taken back to the base to regroup, not everyone had the same luck but were still alive landing all over Europe, now they had to lay low to avoid been discover by the enemy while trying to get back home.

   On episode four there is a lot of talking, they try to add more drama to the series and in my opinion it did work but the episode probably was too divided, keep in mind since they are not all together now you have all this small stories going on at the same time, this probably takes attention from the main focus that is pilots and war, lower down the effect of previous episodes.

   I'm getting closer to be on schedule with the TV Series I'm watching and posting about because there are so many coming up besides a few movies I want to post about too, have been grinding to get this done that I know will have certain effect on my account on the long term.

   Reviews about Masters of The Air seem to be very divided, on RottenTomatoes you got Audience giving it a very low score compare to what this series truly is, yes its not a straight forward story, lots of names, some scenes get cut but is a story about so many pilots that you cant fit the entire book into 8 episodes, on the other hand users at IMDB seem to be more satisfied with it giving the series a 7.9/10, I personally think this is a great series but not for everyone, after reading about and watching the trailer when it came out I expect it to be a drama instead of a straight forward War Theme Tv Series, you have to be patient with it and actions scenes are very satisfying.

   Whats your opinion on the series?

   Very few bombers were able to land on Africa, some went down around Europe that was occupied by Germans in the case of France and some even had to land on the sea, I can only imagine how was that, I doubt a bomber would float like a boat and even if it did how long they would have to wait for coast guard or some one to pick them up? Sgt. Quinn went through a traumatic event when he could not open the hatch to let his partner get out of the turret and had to watch him go down with the plane while he scream for help but it was too late, if not both would be dead.

   https://imgur.com/RqVvV0s.png

   Source

   Quinn landed in France so did Sgt. Baily, lucky for them a group of allies got them under their wings but it was not easy to stay under cover, back then population was not so dense and not many were traveling so in a town most likely everyone knew each other besides Germans had under cover agents trying to infiltrate the resistance, Quinn and Baily had to presence this after they went through an extensive interview and shortly their allies friends put down who was suppose to be a German Spy, they had no experience on this field so Quinn and Baily did not identify the men as a spy and were astonish when he got murder on a the spot, shot twice on the head.

   Buck and Bucky were back at the base ready to go up but still on this episode they were not flying every day, it was Pilot Dye who was coming back home and finally had 25 missions under his belt, the golden standard to basically retire form war, any pilot with 25 missions can go back home, when I think about this I wonder if they all went home I guess there were a few that had nothing to go to and the desire to fight was bigger, decided to look up and during WWII a German pilot Erich Alfred Hartmann had 1404 combat missions and from the allies Johnny Johnson from the Royal Air Force, a rear gunner; complete 92 missions in five years.

   Source

   As most other episodes time lapse between scenes was very short, Quinn and Bailey were moving from one place to another with the help of the resistance but they knew nothing about been a spy or been under cover it became more evident when their new guide Michou figure out Quinn had to have something that could connect him with his lover, in this case a lover letter all because she saw him wearing a women scarf.

   https://imgur.com/XadBv9e.png

   Source

   At the base lots of pilot got eager to complete 25 missions after Pilot Dye was able to do it but not Bucky and Buck, although Buck did decided to take a few days off during the weekend, he goes to town and meet a women on a bar, I didn't catch her name but while drinking shots they go through her story as a widow, her ex husband well she never got divorce; was also a pilot but after he went to war she never knew anything about him so she just assume he is dead too, living her live like there is no tomorrow and avoiding another Pilot as a lover since she now knows how things most likely will end for most pilots who go to war.

   Source

   The 100th were once again going after the U-boat pens at Bremen, Major Cleven was eager more than anyone, he had a debt with this target but the mission was not shown during the episode, many more went down, I felt slightly mad about this because there was basically no air action this time, episode four was all drama but I have learn to deal with this and understand that's the flow of some series, they need to cool down unfortunately not all of them can do it without viewers noticing.

   Quinn and Bailey arrive to Paris, it was packed with German officers and Michou gave them instructions of not saying a word, just follow her lead and let her do the talking but while they were still on the trail she left them alone for a few minutes and went to the bathroom, in that split of minutes the man who collect the train tickets ask Quinn for his ticket talking French, Quinn had no clue what to say and panic, start running away like he could escape but lucky for him there was another under cover agent looking after them and got him to calm down and go back to he sit, this was the only kinda action you will get on episode three and nothing more, I can see this been the slowest episode of all.

   Back at the base Cpt. Rosie and his crew were one of the few bombers who survive, Buck went down, no scenes of the battle at all, while Bucky was still at the town after a wild night he had to watch rescue personal picking up a dead girl from the rubble of a building that was bombarded last night, this infuriate him and call the base because he wanted action, only to find out that Buck went down on his last mission.

   This is the slowest episode so far, since episode one we had air battle scenes, on a nine episode mini series its understandable that at some point we had one of this only drama episodes and no go, I really really hope Buck is still alive some where because it would suck big time if they could not find a more suitable way to put him out, I understand this is a narrated story and not every single detail is known to men of what really happen but this are the situations I would expect writers to sprinkle some magic and change the story just a bit, can't have one of the three mayor characters go down this easy and without at least the scene of how it happen.

   Masters of The Air is a series that just keeps delivering, yesterday I made my post on episode two since I'm a little behind on my recaps although today Friday I'm about to watch episode five and from there keep up with the other four episodes every Friday, probably posting number four and five over the weekend depending on my schedule. Until I have been asking for a BIG AIR BATTLE and that exactly what episode three is, everything happens in the air but then we get in to my second ask for this series, WHEN AIR FIGHTER 1v1, for now all we see from Allies in this case US Air Force is bomber but I would love to see them bring in their fighter planes for a good air battle defending the bombers from German fighters, so far this is the best episode I have seen on the series, there is a lot of action, lots of casualties as you can see on the picture that I choose for the cover of this post, the episode is loaded, toward the end the story shift gears getting more into the drama, the aftermath after such big fight, not everyone will make it home alive and others drop on their way back, side stories from pilots and their crew will start to develop, after bombing the German factories they were deep into Enemy Territory and had to land in Africa, way way far from their base.

   Col. Hardling is in charge, just in time to be part of the biggest "air armada ever assembled in history" the target is to attack the German Ball Bearing factories crippling their tanks and other units productions, this is a very precise attack that needs to happen in a certain way and time, timing is the most important part, they know German Fighters burn fuel way faster and carry less fuel than bombers so they cant stay in the air longer enough to put them down if their numbers are massive and capable of defending, for the pilots there is a big distance challenge after hitting the target they cant go back so they will have to make it all the way to Africa, Argelia.

   Every pilot at the base knows this is going to be a big fight that none of them want to miss, there is a delay because of fog and other task forces are delay, the waiting is killing them while others just chill waiting for order, there are also a couple of Majors and other high rank officers in the force flying, Col. Hardling thinks he needs the best man up in the air to make this a win.

   https://i.imgur.com/tIUzvd9.png

   Source

   Not every crew member knows the importance of sticking to the plan, some are desperate to get up in the air but others like Navigator Lt. Crosby, who narrates the most part of the story; understands the importance of sticking together, if this doesn't happen then their plan is shit, unfortunately seems that higher ranks also got desperate and gave the order for all bombers be in the air, Hardling knows this is a terrible idea but orders are orders, in the army you follow orders.

   https://i.imgur.com/rfhD42f.png

   Source

   Following the orders means sending the boys straight to HELL!! All pilots and crew get ready, seen all the bombers flying together leaving their trail behind in the air is beautiful, must be a great experience watching so many bombers in the air ready to fight. After been some time in air and getting into Flak territory the obvious is out of the windows, where are the other task forces?

   https://i.imgur.com/uLg8MAP.png

   Source

   Frank, Buck, Bucky and Curt know they are on themself and some how will have to survive, this is where the big air battle I mention starts, I don't want to describe it much but damn that's a lot of dopamine, they manage to hit the target but not with the amount of impact they wanted to, also they loose a lot of men during this mission, this will probably be the mission where they had the most looses.

   https://i.imgur.com/aATZ3M5.png

   Source

   After hitting their target they still have a very very long distances to cover, going through the Italian Alps, then through the Mediterranean Sea so they could make it to Africa. Bombers were heavily damage, low on fuel, missing crew members, others badly hurt but they had to survive some how. Buck had to start dumping every extra weight that was not necessary for the plain to stay in the air, they dump from guns, dome, ammo, on top the bomber was hurt badly to the point that part of the crew though they had to jump ship but the Cap. was Major Cleven and the order was to stay put and get your shit together.

   https://i.imgur.com/VbOBJMw.png

   Source

   Frank,Buck and Bucky finally land in Africa but not all bombers had the same luck, around only 9 out of 23 landed, others had to jump of their plain, those who survive are all scattered around in Europe that is heavily invaded by German Army, this crew members are on their own and have to find their we back home but in the meantime survive, no food, no friends, most don't even talk other languages, they are in Europe, French, Italian, German, everything except English.

   https://i.imgur.com/uwwnjtd.png

   

   This was the most exciting episode so far, I don't expect all episodes to be like this but there still seven more so at least one or two other big air battles on the way to the end, drama kicks in now that crew members need to find their way back home, Buck and Bucky remain together but I'm sure they will also go down at some point, hope they survive but every single mission had very high changes that men wont come back, specially when dumb orders are giving like sending all those bombers alone, such a small number into deep enemy territory, episode a solid 8.5/10.

   This is a series that I have been catching up and while I was going through the images just to make things clear I'm watching and writing about it from a regular viewer who likes action series, I don't take sides or think who is was wrong or right, at this point is history, inaccurate or accurate, its just a TV series, nothing that dictates how I think or live, for all the crystal generation out there.

   https://i.imgur.com/omm8LM7.png

   At this point in time I'm already up to date with all four episodes and very satisfied, I did mention on my previous post from episode one that the series does feel a bit slow pace at first and that I wish air battles were a bit more exciting but its about bombers, they just weather the storm its not about fighters at least yet, it amaze me how some people love to shit on scores.

   "After 4 episodes I just want my life back. The script is pathetic minus 5 stars." ...he gave it 1/5

   After four episodes I give this series a solid 7.5/10, I can understand that the story some times feels it jumps too fast into whats next but you will not be able to fit everything whats in the book into a mini series, its not a documentary but a narrated story with probably the most important aspects of what Harry Crosby remember from all the missions he was in and certain events documented around the base.

   Episode two another solid one, probably the episode where Crosby start to move into the ranks, other aviators noticing him after a successful mission leading the pack, he was the navigator that guide them, keep in mind that almost everything was done manually back in the day, this bombers were basically dead traps guided by pen and pencil from the navigator.

   USA is loosing bombers constantly, every bomber has a ten men on board, every time one goes down is ten men that you wont see ever again all because of war and it hits Bucky, so far he has not been aloud to flight next to his friends and it was Buck first mission who was shocked for what he went through, all Bucky could do was hope Buck gets back form this one.

   After not been able to flight and loosing so many friends he goes had a few drinks with Curt until the next morning when he had to meet the new Co. replacing Col. Huglings who had Bucky in the bench.

   https://i.imgur.com/IBGgehx.png

   Source

   Cpt. Frank has been promoted after Bucky got demoted, he thinks Bucky was the only one who had to do with it but in fact he was fkn drunk when he talk to Col. Harding, before he got interview it was Buck who recommended Frank to be Air Exec and Bucky as the leader of the squad, everything play out just as Buck and Bucky wanted, all they want is to flight together.

   https://i.imgur.com/mjBRpIt.png

   Source

   The US Air Forces keep loosing planes, pilots and crew members, either because of pilot mistakes or plain failures or because of war and they are a bit of a short staff at the moment, everything was kept manual they had this big boards to plan things out while some one was taking notes on the side to keep records, every bomber or fort as they call them had a crew that stick together and it was a reminder among them "If I go down we all go down", it was a very tight relationship they build up between them, specially if they flight on the same fort.

   https://i.imgur.com/r5jDVmw.png

   Source

   Fighting the Germans was the US Air Force and the Royal British Air Force, both with different strategies one a bit more risky than the other but hardly to debate who was more deadly to the enemy, US strike during the day and British. They had this argument while taking some drinks that end up in a boxing match having Curt taking down Pilot Bryan, after mentioning how US will keep continue to loose more men because of their high risk strategy.

   https://i.imgur.com/pkqocvZ.png

   Source

   The bases was in constant movement even at night, all planes were getting repaired during the day to then be armed during the night while pilots and their crew rest, the reason US could go with precision bombing was because of The Norden Bombsight, a device that let bombers precisely calculate where to drop bombs from a high altitude, it was one of US Air Force most valuable secret during the war.

   https://i.imgur.com/bvuwuxs.png

   Source

   Col. Hardling in charge thinks will change a bit, Bucky back in the air he gets Lt. Crosby on his first mission replacing Lt. Payne because he is sick, both navigators, the difference is Crosby has never lead the pack, he was always air sick and a bad one, some times people call others lucky the first time they manage to pull off a mission although what happens when they do it over and over? still lucky? it was Crosby first time leading the formation and he did manage to pull it of, can you call lucky all those who survive the war or were they just good at their job?.

   https://i.imgur.com/ZCNqfew.png

   Source

   The scenes with all the bombers in formation those are crazy when watching in VR, thats why I keep asking for better air battles because must be sick watching all the fighters going at the bombers who can just stand there, I'm sure at some point there will also be US fighters probably as bombers escorts, as I mention above, again Crosby felt sick as fuck but he manage to lead the pack and drop bombs on the target.

   https://i.imgur.com/3kI1I6O.png

   Source

   On the series it was this mission that got him on Capt. Frank Murphy and Col. Harding sight, they were looking for a new group navigator, since no body knew what went down during their flight except Lt. Douglas sitting next to Crosby; after some talking they ask Crosby to be the new navigator leader after all he got and brought them back from the mission, so again lucky? some times people are so good at their job others cant see farther than just luck when in fact you are that damn good.

   https://i.imgur.com/uwwnjtd.png

   

   I think this was just another great episode, yes missions are not that long, scenes jump from one to another, there are a lot of names and ranks to learn during the series, its definitely not for everyone, this is one of those series I consider for advance viewers, if you are into connecting dots and learning a bunch of characters this is for you but if all you are looking is for air battles and constant action then you will find this series boring, there are just too many characters and they can not be on every single scene, they all cant have big long dialogs every time so to some viewers can feel like they all say so little it means nothing or empty although that's just the way some series are develop, at the same time not for everyone.

   From now one we will see a few characters like Cpt. Frank, Major Eagan "Bucky" and Lt. Crosby developing on their new positions, so far for me a great series and it feels fast enough, nothing flashy, even the intro is very smooth, nothing feels rush, only give me more air battles and longer missions.

   After a last week of grinding for January here we are on February 2024, my streak is intact but today it was threaten by nature after a tree fall on top of the power energy cables close to my apartment, its all OK although it took power out for the entire street, lucky my mother is traveling and her apartment is close to mine so I took my laptop and came here to make this post, only problem is I forgot my mouse so using touch pad is hell for me; I will do what ever in my power to keep this show going and it goes father than Hive for me, its about commitment.

   This are the type of post that takes the most time for me to create, got to watch the episode, take screenshots so that's basically a second watch but more to analyze it, then need to edit the screenshots trying to make them look like a guide to then finally start writing.

   I did a post about Masters of The Air some time ago when the trailer came out, I have taken the route to generate informative content and then move into the reviews or recaps, I prefer calling them RECAPS, the word review makes me feel like a professional critic and I'm simply not.

   By the time of this post the series is already three episodes in so its hard for me to spoil it for anyone, its on you if you keep reading. When I made the post about the trailer I remember reading all episodes were suppose to be name after each base they visit but some how IMDB still has it as Part 1, kinda boring. Masters of The Air is all about what I expected but as this is an adaptation of the Bomber Unit 100th from World War II I would not take everything they show on the series as the truth, remember it still a show. This Mini Series starting on episode one does make honor to its name by focus on how Pilots and their crew make what ever it was on their power to defend and keep those bombers in the air, so far they did go into one mission but it even bothers me a bit that the battles in the are are confusing and very fast that you cant see German Fighters they go so fast, do see anti air firing but I guess from the Bomber perspective or view the battle was very slow, this things were huge and could not maneuver as fast to fight back.

   There will be quite a few characters on this story but for now this are your main, from top to bottom Major Gale "Buck" Cleven, Major John "Bucky" Egan and Lt. Harry Crosby, the story is at times narrated by Crosby mostly when they are in the air, the reason for this is because Major Harry Crosby wrote one of the books the mini series is based on, the name of this book A Wing and A Prayer, I haven't read any of the books this series is based on and don't now much rather what I will write on this post but after watching episode one the name of the book does make sense because most of the time all they could do is fight back and pray.

   https://i.imgur.com/xR4gZiw.png

   Source

   For now the series is not much about the battle actions but the struggle of pilots and their crew above 10k feet in the air, most things on the planes were very manual compare to how things are now days, it happens that two of my family members are commercial plane pilots and would probably talk hours giving their opinion but after seen how they pilot this massive beasts that were the bombers it was a huge risk, all the things that could go wrong. On first episode the 100th unit gets to England, Buck leading the pack although Bucky arrive way early even when through two missions, he was basically preparing the terrain for rest of the 100th, it is mention that before those days many of them have never got into a plane to travel so all they had is their training as experience.

   https://i.imgur.com/udtOdOB.png

   Source

   The flight to England was not the most pleasant because of weather in some parts, at the moment the 100th was compose of nine planes that would integrate to other squads, not sure the proper term for this group of bombers; everything went smooth the last part of the flight except for one plane, the pilot in charge Captain John Brady but it was not hist fault, they had some electric failure although his navigator was Crosby who had air sickness badly and screw up their flight coordinates, they end up in France that at the time was German Army territory, eventually made it back to England way behind the pack and had a force landing after their right landing gear would not go down.

   https://i.imgur.com/CMiXJnA.png

   Source

   Across the episode there are about eight characters and they made a quick introduction at first that in my opinion it was not worth doing, there are so many characters that its better to learn them as it goes, the introduction to the main two Buck and Bucky was fine but the rest was not helpful. Day latter after landing the 100th is going on their first mission, Col. Harold Q. Huglin is giving orders but on a previous scene he seems sick and probably Bucky is the next on the line to replace him as he is ask to stay on land and will probably get a desk job giving orders too. Bucky already knows what is up there, Buck is flying with Lt. Curtis Buddick, when Bucky talks to Buck giving him his lucky bill its like he knows the danger to be up there and there is a big chance he never sees his friend again.

   https://i.imgur.com/aCHUDwT.png

   Source

   When Buck arrives to Bremen, German were waiting for them, lots of anti air equipment open fire their way, while this was going on all they could do was hold on, keep moving forward and pray, there was literally nothing they could do, when this Flaks (aircraft defense canon) shoot their missile seem to explode in many pieces hitting bombers and basically cutting them off, this tear apart the bombers or in the worst case they get hit directly by the missing and take the explosion, when the Flaks stop shooting then it was time for the German fighters to pick them up and that they did, Buck and the other pilots had to sit and watch how gunners on the Bombers shoot back but the German Fighters were just too fast, for every one German they took down it seems that three bombers go down because thats is how that fight ends, 19 bombers go out, one early return and only 16 came back, this is not how Buck had things planned or how he though it would be and he did ask Bucky why didn't you warn us but basically there is nothing else they could do once they are in the air on German territory. Col. Huglin had to call off he mission because they were been taken down one by one by the German Fighters and on top none of their two targets were visible, it was too cloudy so he decided not to drop any bombs and go back to the base.

   https://i.imgur.com/FmNApJn.png

   Source

   Sixteen bombers come back, heavily damage, three bombers confirm went down each one carry ten men, those were thirty men who Buck knew and now they are gone, Col. Huglin comes back from he mission too but he is sick as F and most likely Bucky is going to take charge of the base, Buck can't believe what he just went through and Bucky is taking him for interrogation.

   https://i.imgur.com/uwwnjtd.png

   

   For been the first episode was not bad at all although I would like to see more air fight scenes probably from the Germans Fighter view although I guess that would go against the story so there is the reason why some times they don't stick to it, because it can loose some of the excitement, watching how heavily damage Bombers get when getting through Flaks was something I had not idea about also how Bucky specially had to maneuver this heavy airplanes during windy situations with what look like very basic controls, not that I know how modern look but this Bombers look ascent from the inside based on the images. A great episode, I'm very satisfied after an hour of drama and heavy fire in the air, over all a solid 8/10.

   Today the universe was against me to make this post, something that should have take me about two hours end up close to four due to energy problems, forgot my mouse at home, then the upload at my mothers apartment took vacation and I could not upload images had to reboot the modem couple of times, but I still manage to finish my post on time, I try to make them not as long and complex as before, I also left out some details about the pilots challenges on the bomber itself; since it was taking me just too much time an energy draining me out and not having much energy to keep going the next day, I hope you enjoy.

   A few days I did my monthly post of what I will be watching during the month besides finishing what I didn't on December last year, it was a crazy month and had to take care of things at home plus the shop went a bit crazy too; I think this mini series is going to be one of those small gems of 2024, the mini series carry nine episodes and will premier on Apple+ on January, 26, its based on the story of the 100th Bomber Crew, American Bombers during World War II, one of the things that caught my eye is the production team with names like Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and Gary Goetzman from productions like Band of Brothers highly rated on IMDB with a 9.4, yes its from 2001 but just to mention one of their war theme hits.

   Release Date: January,26,2024 Platforms: Appletv+ IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2640044/

   

   Source

   This mini series has a very varied cast, in fact some actors have previously worked with Spielberg. Austin Butler, who plays Major Gale 'Buck' Cleven, and will incidentally appear on screen in Dune Part II, was in the Elvis biopic, yeah trying to use some film terms now. Callum Turner, plays Major John Bucky Egan, the performance that I remember most is that of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Anthony Boyle, plays the role of Major Harry Crosby, I cannot ignore his role as the not so popular Malfoy in Harry Potter. Nate Mann plays Major Robert 'Rosie' Rosenthal and Josiah Cross plays Second Lieutenant Robert Daniels, both "new" talent to the screen discovered by Spielberg while working as waiters from what I could found on Google, not much about them on IMDB besides few previous work but not many. Rafferty Law, plays Sergeant Ken Lemmons, is the son of Jude Law and Sadie Frost, and has acted in Twist and The Hatton Garden Job. Barry Keoghan, Lieutenant Curtis Biddick, is an Irish actor who became known for his role in the movie Dunkirk and I have seen him in the Marvel movie Eternals. Branden Cook, plays Sergeant James Gibson, is a British actor, at this moment I do not associate him with any film or series other than Chicago P.D and thats because my mom watch random episodes on TV so I knew I have seen him some where, and finally Ncuti Gatwa, who plays Lieutenant Francis Harper, is a Scottish Rwandan actor and has gained fame for his role in the series Sex Education and very recently Barbie. With all this in mind not need to say that its a very well mix talented cast, I took the time to look up some of the main cast since some of the profiles didn't look familiar to me, its time I start learning and remembering this actors to improve my writing skills.

   

   Source

   The Story is based on the book by Donald L. Miller, by the way I have decided to take some interest on some of this stories, I just want to be part of it, it's always the same adaptations that I know nothing about and when I publish my Dune post seems there is a lot of people who have read the books so this time I'm going to read at least one of this novels/books don't haven't decide witch one but I will probably make a post about it; Donald L. Miller a historian who has written several books about World War II so this men has solid bases about the topic, it is a true story and the most important part for me on this stories is not necesary the action but what goes on with the characters at a personal level, each person handles everything what goes on a war different, some are brave and fight, some can't handle it, they will have personal stories, challenges, even moral dilemas because they will have to do some bad things to survive, psychological traumas are born and latter on the emotional side of things, the flashbacks that never go away, the story of young men who carried dangerous bombing raids over the Nazi Germany, most of Europe territory occupied, dealing with the lack of oxygen and freezing temps at the high altitude, over 25,000 feet above ground, just trying to paint a picture here.

   Source

   Source

   For a mini series it has a good amount of episodes but at first I couldn't find out more information about each episodes, if you go to IMDB plots are empty for now so after a quick look up on the internetz found that each episode goes about air bases where the 100th Bomb Group was parked or operating, mostly air bases in England. Thurleigh, Thorpe Abbotts, Polbrook, some other episodes related to events that happen Shweinfurt as Part Three, this was a German city target of several bombing raids, Ragensburg as Part Four, another German city that was attacked a very famous mission, Big Week as Part Seven that was a series of attacks on German aircraft factory so there will be a fair chair of action on this series, I can only imagine a fight scene in the air, POV with VR.

   

   

   In my opinion this mini series is setting up to be awesome from what I have found out so far, the cast has a few names that are not well known but that is also something I like very much, I like the underdog side, see very well crafted series that bring to the spotlight not necessary new talent but make them shine, this is a mini series and not a movie so I won't be expecting constant action on every single episode but there is a chance there will be since most episodes are about some of the missions they did, the side story of each main character is going to be an important factor so I do expect some drama, probably love story of the members who left behind wifes and girlfriends to go to war, family, kids, as I mention a gem of 2024, down the line there will be others too, the closer we get to the release date they might put out some more scenes, down below the trailer at the moment of this post.
