  • The 100th takes on a deadly mission to Münster, Germany. Masters of the Air is now streaming. apple.co/_Mast...
    Based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name, and scripted by John Orloff, Masters of the Air follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (the “Bloody Hundredth”) as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen, and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air. Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of Hitler’s Third Reich, is at the heart of “Masters of the Air.” Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed. And some were lucky enough to make it home. Regardless of individual fate, a toll was exacted on them all.
    The series features a stellar cast led by Academy Award nominee Austin Butler, Callum Turner, Anthony Boyle and Nate Mann, who are joined by Raff Law, Academy Award nominee Barry Keoghan, Josiah Cross, Branden Cook and Ncuti Gatwa.
    Hailing from Apple Studios, Masters of the Air is executive produced by Steven Spielberg through Amblin Television, and Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman for Playtone. Amblin Television’s Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey co-executive produce alongside Playtone’s Steven Shareshian. In addition to writing, Orloff co-executive produces. Graham Yost also serves as co-executive producer. Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck, Cary Joji Fukunaga, Dee Rees and Tim Van Patten serve as directors.

    The episode described the Munster mission (10 Oct 1943) of the famous Black Week. 20 B-17 aircraft from the 100th departed from Thorpe Abbots (England) and only 13 reached the target. And of these 13 aircraft, only 1 returned, the Royal Flush of the legendary Robert Rosenthal.

    • @Medjay_Aleks
      @Medjay_Aleks 7 місяців тому +23

      Yup, they were WGr 21s, used mainly by heavy fighters such as Bf-110s, Me-410s and Ju-88s to break up formations and make the job easier for the Bf-109s and Fw-190s. A lucky direct hit would almost certainly be catastrophic for a B-17 or B-24

      @AEB1066 7 місяців тому +24

      They also had a bomb that was dropped from above a bomber formation set to explode after falling 1,000 feet. Some of these bombs contained phosphorus that produced a falling cloud of burning chunks: in photos that is often mis-identified as an exploded bomber going down. However the moment fighter escorts showed up the twin-engined interceptors where swept from the sky and even rockets became rare as they impacted on the speed and maneuverability of a fighter carrying them.

      George Morrison was a tail gunner in the 303rd BG and told me about those rockets. He said " You'd see'em back there in our vapor trails a Me 110 or 410 and when I'd see his tail drop I knew he'd fired rockets at us. I'd immediately tell Dasheilds to pull'er up fast. The ship in front of us wasn't so lucky as those rockets took their wing off. George passed away in 1997 he was the sole survivor of his crew or so he always thought. I found Don Delaura the bombardier alive and well a few yrs after George passed. This series makes me really miss my friends.

      Thank you for mentioning Lt Col Robert "Rosie" Rosenthal. Not only was he one of the few to bring his aircraft back from this Munster raid in October 1943, but he would proceed to complete his 25 mission requirement. Then Rosenthal would fly an *additional* 27 missions, being shot down twice - he would receive the Distinguished Service Cross, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, and two Silver Stars for his work. At the end of WWII, Rosenthal would serve as an assistant prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials, where he got to interview Air Marshall Göring and Field Marshal and head of the General Staff at OKW Keitel...

    'I know that I shall meet my fate
    Somewhere among the clouds above;
    Those that I fight I do not hate,
    Those that I guard I do not love;
    My country is Kiltartan Cross,
    My countrymen Kiltartan’s poor,
    No likely end could bring them loss
    Or leave them happier than before.
    Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
    Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
    A lonely impulse of delight
    Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
    I balanced all, brought all to mind,
    The years to come seemed waste of breath,
    A waste of breath the years behind
    In balance with this life, this death.'

      About the falling slowly- this actually can happen with airplane wreckage from a break-up, pieces will rotate as they fall in ways that create lift, making them fall quite slowly compared to other pieces. A young woman actually survived a mid-air breakup over the Amazon because of this effect once.

      Well, besides the historical events, the show did foreshadow it from the beginning. The colonels had mentioned replacements were being sent, several episodes before the replacements were ever shown. There would be no reason do mention the replacements so early into the series, unless the main character is being introduced with them. Similar to how Crosby is the narrator, instead of either Cleven or Egan.
      Add that “Masters of the Air” is a bit of a tribute to Steven Spielberg’s father, who was a bomber boy in the Pacific theater. So, it should not support anyone, the main character would be a the most famous Jewish bomber pilot.

    The Air War Over Europe was epic. Strategic leadership mistakes overcome by good old American Manufacturing with good enough technology. The problem of CGI movies is that the action is exaggerated: tracer shots were small trails of bullets, not these asteroid like sky trails. Explosions were small, structural failures more often than exploding planes. And these closure speeds seem like jets flying around. And the gunners and pilots are trained to not fire until like 150 yards out, not a half mile away.

      The sound engineers rarely get things like that right.
      I was a Vulcan gunner in the Army, the same 20mm M61 General Electric cannon that's put in jets I was a gunner on, the Army version was mounted in a turret on top of an M113 chassis and was known as the M167A1/A2 Self Propelled Vulcan Air Defense Gun.
      In 1986 just several weeks before I got out of the Army me and some buddies went to the theater to see the movie Top Gun that everyone was raving about at the time, when it got to the part where the F14's were firing their M61 Vulcan cannons and the sound effect was that of an ordinary belt fed machinegun like an M60 we groaned so loud everyone in the theater looked at us, one day someone is going to explain to Hollywood sound engineers that a 6,000 round per minute 20mm cannon does not sound like a typical .30 caliber belt fed machinegun an Infantry squad would have.
