  • 'Masters of the Air' WWII miniseries set to debut on Apple TV+ in January

    I sincerely hope the new series will account for the failure strategic bombing plan promulgated by the USAAF during the 20’s and 30’s. That doesn't take anything away from the bravery of the USAAF personnel who tried to make it work. Given the realities of existing technology at the time and a lack of complete understand of the jet streams at high altitude, the concept was always doomed to failure, as the RAF found out in 1939. The series looks fantastic to this amateur aviation historian. From the period-correct clothing to the B-17F with the modified nose ‘50’s (a stop-gap to defend against the nose-attacks by the Luftwaffe — later 17’s had the Bendix chin turret installed to do the same thing. Looks like another winner!
