From the executive producers of the classic World War II miniseries Band of Brothers and The Pacific comes Masters of the Air, a nine-episode miniseries covering the battle for aerial supremacy over Europe during the war. Featuring an all-star cast at the arguable height of their acting powers and impressive talent behind the camera, Masters of the Air hits the skies running as it depicts the bravery of the American airmen and their largely untold story. Masters of the Air is also the most stylized miniseries of the WWII trilogy it forms with its HBO predecessors — partially informed by the creative necessities of covering the harrowing battles in the skies above Europe in the 1940s.Based on the 2007 book Masters of the Air by Donald D. Miller, the Apple TV+ original series depicts the 100th Bomb Group within the Eighth Air Force tasked with bombing Axis Powers targets throughout Europe. Because of the Nazis’ own lethal air force and impregnable defenses, the aviators endure heavy casualties as they move to turn the tide of the war against Germany and help facilitate Allied advances into Europe. Like Band of Brothers and The Pacific, the miniseries follows several real-life figures within the 100th Bomb Group as they valiantly battle across the skies in B-17 Flying Fortresses and other Allied aircraft.Part of the reason that heightened “bro quality” is more prominently featured in Masters of the Air in contrast to its predecessors is the nature of the war these men are fighting. These aren’t soldiers on the front lines, where the enemy could be lurking just feet away from an imminent attack while the protagonists try to catch whatever sleep and rest they can between harrowing battles. These aviators have a base to return to between each excursion, and though they face their own wartime horrors and traumas, that idea of a relative safe haven subtly informs the dynamics between the characters rather than prolonged periods of relentless intensity.
