Hello there and welcome to one of the best air dogfight scene i have ever seen, enjoy it!
A series from Apple.
During WWII, five miles above the ground and behind enemy lines, ten men inside a bomber known as a “Flying Fortress” battle unrelenting flocks of German fighters.
As always Add-Free!
A like or comment is always appreciated and i will try to respond to them all. Have a wonderful day!
I recommend listening with headphones.

The synthetic imaging are horrible, it looks like a video game from the 2000's. Aircraft's behavior are completely irrational, especially the speed and roll rates… It reminds me red tails movies ! Old movies like battle of britain, Memphis belle …are way more accurate with real plane footage. The serie is also too stereotypical…Being a fan of BB, and Pacific I'm very desappointed.
Is the brown and striger incident in the series
The manufactured communications is what is super cheesy and unconvincing, pure hollywood BS
Was there some sort of stop on the guns so as not to shoot your own bird?
1:00 "Rocket's 2 o'clock" that word is realizing me of something, that must be a BF 110 equipped with rocket's, so that means the germans use 3 planes of FW 190s Bf 109s and Bf 110.
あなたは戦闘機に乗り込みます…最後まで飛びます!!!最後まで！！！
Anata wa sentōki ni norikomimasu… Saigomade tobimasu! ! ! Saigomade! ! !
Holy crap are those aircraft 50s firing slow!
One thing I find a bit off is wouldn’t there be escorting P-51 Mustangs with the B-17s?
Great show, WE NEED MIRE WW2 stuff before all the vets die out
Who was Major Clevin's co-pilot for this mission?
Is this miniseries worth it? I'm afraid of committing to a show that I'll be disappointed in the end
I wish we had a Star Wars show like that
at least the B17s got to fly mostly at day time so they can see what they are hitting… Raf did more night missions now that would be spooky trying to see where to fire
I've read a lot of actual accounts on these missions, and I have to say, Masters of the Air captues the absolute brutality of these missions extremely well. The extreme speed, the claustrophobia, the chaos, the sheer deadliness of the enviroment, a thousand things happening at once, the devastating loss rates. Its a great show imo. Just stop the nitpicking bullsh!t, nobody cares.
Such a good series despite the unsubstantiated Britain bashing, shame they forgot to mention the so called “hands down best fighter plane of the war” (the mustang apparently) was powered by a British Merlin engine because the Americans could build one as good. That must of slipped there mind when writing the script
i love the music in this show its not intrusive and it adds so much while being barely noticeable
Was that a woman? Lolol
My great grandpa was a ball turret gunner and he lost oxygen and passed out in the ball turret. Somebody pulled him up and revived him. I think after 9 missions his plane was shot and had to make an emergency landing in German occupied Holland. He was taken prisoner and shipped by train to stalag 17 where he stayed for 20 months. He never spoke if the war. One day when he was in his 80s my grandpa took him to see a B-17 at felts field. He sat by it for hours and talked and talked with people. They asked if he wanted to go up for a ride and he said no, he had had enough rides thank you.
How can I find this?
Before people comment they should read Croz’s book. This is beyond accurate. One day you’re drunk and laughing with your boys, the next you’re falling from 30k feet crying out to god and your mother. These men/kids had bigger stones than anyone nowadays.
This is gonna be boring. You can’t make guys stuck in a plane for hours on end entertaining
It doesn’t need to be entertaining. But damned if it doesn’t get your blood going when you realize how much in the soup they got
Rockets?
This show's special effects are embarrasing
