Biddicks death is the scene that sticks with me.
We're leaving a lot of good men behind
A lot of brave men
Great ending
Operation Chowhound would be 1 of the things you missed since it's another truce between enemies to accomplish something for good
Sgt Lemmons replacing the magneto while on the perimeter track( an event which occurred about six months later) and Rosie shaking off the Bandits after the group was wiped out on the Munster mission.
To think that Rosie flew 52 missions and lived to tell the tale was nothing short of a miracle when considering how high the attrition rate was. The fact he went on to prosecute at Nuremberg was even better. A real legend. All of them were special people.
The series shows him evading capture then returning...in real life, he did it TWICE
@@wnose - The series had to tone down virtually everything with Rosie, in order for it to be considered believable for the audience. His military career, and why he joined the war, literally just plays out like a movie.
Textbook war hero
Rosie (indirectly) killed the fanatical NAZI prosecutor, Roland Freisler, on one of the bombing missions he led. Freisler was the "judge" who sentenced the members of the White Rose resistance group to death.
@@picardtseng - he should have got the MOH - staying with a burning plane so the crew can bale , - 2 tours , and much more - not to mention his inspirational leadership and commitment
My son Nathen Solly plays John Brady's co-pilot, Lt John L.Hoerr. His first acting role, shortly after leaving university. He gets a great scene in Ep1 (Belly landing), then ep5 being shot down with Major Egan (Callum Turner). I was so proud to see him on screen :)
As my Aunt Rosie Mae Howard Tabor from Georgia always said when the minister in her church said something great "Yes,Sir!
The eerie look on Rosenthal’s face after realizing they were the last B17 up… had to be the peak for me, not to mention him humming the tune of his favourite drummer! Weird but comforting moment
The Buck-Bucky reunion makes me teary-eyed everytime I watch it. Both Gale Austin and Callum Turner did a fabulous job with the expressions, especially Callum.
Two dreadful actors. Big mistake focussing the series on them.
For me it is the best moment on the show , feel so real and genuine.
@@CzechImpyou again!!! 😂😂😂 they are up and coming actors. You just hate that they got to be part of something that is up there with band of brothers and the pacific when it comes to reenacting the stories of actual veterans. You are now really coming across as a man who simply whines and whines over anything.
Get a grip mate.
@@boldrin2219 - General consensus is the two Bucks are the weakest part of the show.
@@CzechImp absolutely spot on ! Why people can’t see beyond patriotism and actually realize how truly awful actors they were is beyond me, especially Butler
When Rosie gets back from the Munster mission as the only one remaining of the 100th that actor gives this intense stare to completely contrast how he acted the part of Rosie to that point. His expression is one I have seen a few times, and the actor nailed it.
Brilliant acting all around in this miniseries!
Nate Mann who plays Rosie nailed the whole thing. His first major acting role and he was amazing.
@@kimberleysmith818 I cannot agree more. That guy is going places in his career. His take on Rosie made him by far my favourite character. Oscar worthy work, in my opinion.
@@James-zg2nl would be great if he got an oscar - wow just wow
Rosie's 52nd mission, hands down. The first 9 or so minutes of episode 9 for me are the pinnacle of the series. Dead on historically. He wrote the script for them. High drama and I'll compare it to the first 30 minutes of Private Ryan, the Brecourt Assault from Band of Brothers, or any other war movie scene I can think of. Incredibly inspiring.
well said and sooo right :)
It was his 25th mission. They were too busy forcing in the Tuskegee Airmen stuff and the fiction BS to get to the 52nd or the other major events of the air war.
Biddick's "Oh God..." just before smashing into the ground
My number one is the Münster raid, last but not least as Münster is actually my hometown. In fact I could see the quarter I live in on the map during the briefing and during the actual raid I paused and could see the house I live in when they showed the just released bombs. The house I live in was destroyed during the raid and rebuild in 1948, the train depot is basically on the other side of the residential block. Gives you the chills to see all this depicted on screen!
Episode 5 and 9 were a masterpiece
I’d put episode 3 in there as well.
"JOHN EAGAN! YOUR 2 O'CLOCK!"
Great scene!
The end of Episode 7 where Rosie signs up for another tour instead of going home.
That and when Rosie completed his 25th mission were wonderful. It was so great seeing the 100th finally experience a win.
🛩️The aerial battles were truly heart-stopping!🔥
Some of the portrayals of the air battles were overdone or down right flawed but we have to be thankful at least they made a series about the European air war
I would have added one more scene to the honorable mentions - the scene in episode 4, in which Egan learns that Cleven was shot down. While Egan walks toward a phone booth, a woman is wailing outside the bombed remains of her home while the body of her child is recovered.
The moment I finished watching Part Three I knew that was going to be the best episode of the series. That was going to be hard to top.
Always love these biographic war pictures!
What struck me with awe were the sequences of battle with bits of Boeings falling through the sky. Like a wing or that engine, a tail section, all falling like leaves on an autumn day. How scary that must have been for the men still flying in those skies!
the 100th lost 9 planes on the Regensburg trip - Ep 3
The party sequence with Eithne MacSweeney's rendition of Tear The Fascists Down. Would have been so easy to go with some contemporary swing/ Glen Miller or even Vera Lynn, but this choice and its montage rocked.
I would have included the brief scene, as Bucky is walking through London, in which the body of a child is pulled from the wreckage of her home amid the wails of her mother, among the honorable mention scenes.
For me it was most episodes left me feeling Nihilistic. The end of the final episode where they fly the aid mission was happy ending that is so rare these days. That and Rosie drumming on the side of his 17 getting back his groove.
Rosie dog fighting in that bomber and singing 🫡👌 part of #2 in the video
Disappointed not to see an entry for the true star of the show - Meatball.
My beloved
No reunion for him and Demarco 😢
@@kimberleysmith818 - No one actually owned Meatball, in real life, and the replacements got rid of him.
I enjoyed Master of the Air. Even though it didn't reach the heights of Band of Brothers and The Pacific, it was still a very enjoyable show. The air raids and plane combat was done very well. Austin Butler, Callum Turner and Anthony Boyle are all good in their leading roles. I really hope Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg make another TV show like these
Boyle, yes.
Butler and Turner are awful - it's not their fault that the script is dreadful, but they still play it so poorly.
@@CzechImp - It is very much Callum Turner’s fault that he was overacting towards the end.
@@CzechImp They were well cats and played the roles accurately, according to the information from Crosby, Rosie, Luckadoo and the news reports of the time. When people make comments like your's, it simply displays an ignorance of history.
@@QuicknStraight What has history got to do with bad acting?!
@@CzechImp It's not bad acting. Are you an expert on acting? Acting coach? No?
The scene where Bucky sees the train full of people getting transfer to the camps left me speechless. You could see the horror in his face even though he didnt know what we know
Several moments: 1) Buck being in the left seat when Rosie comes onto the flight deck for the food drop. Buck says sorry, Rosie takes the right seat and then shakes hands with Buck and says, "It's an honour". 2) Buck realising it's Bucky in the tower giving them landing instructions, then Bucky pulling up alongside in the jeep as Buck taxis in, with Buck saying, "Still the stone in my shoe!", which is a call back to episode 1, when Buck first arrives in England and says the same thing!
wonderful
Such a awesome show to work on!
The introduction of the P-51 Mustang! How was this forgotten??
I gotta get this series!
On a lighter note, how about Egan to Biddick, “Come on, give me one, right in the beak”! Big mistake!
0:40 so epic! Trondheim is my heim (Norwegian for home). Born and raised just a couple of miles outside. When I was a kindergarten kid, my mother worked right next to the bombing target.
Where was the target ?
While the bomber offensive suffered high casualties ( & post-war were criticized for it) ,their challenge of the German Air force weakened it's effectiveness in all theaters & finally resulted in no German air power at all to challenge Overlord.
Grandiosa serie!
The prison break and the mission where rosie survives were my favorites just so much pure emotion going on. I want the team to keep making more! Gotta have a navy focused series next!
Já assisti e, é muito boa a série... bem ao estilo Band of brothers.
Surprised (and disappointed) that you did NOT include the Holland Food Drop scene!
You should all look up a movie called The Memphis Belle. The Belle was the first Flying Fortress to come back from enough missions to have her crew go home. They were sent on a war bond tour.
The food drop onto Holland. But that's probably because I'm Dutch.
Dont forget the RAF
@@jacktattis Correct.
He doesnt plant the flag for celebration but for the allied troops to stop shooting at their own.
The allied troops weren't shooting at their own, they were perfectly aware of who was in the prison camp.
@@cleverusername9369 in the series there are tanks shooting which is the point he turns to get the flag.
@@cleverusername9369 - Historically, the American flag was raised at Moosburg to signal to the armored division that it was a POW camp, and to not shoot at them.
Curtis Biddick's last moments with his co-pilot before they crashed and died even though Hollywood changed their death scene..
The co pilot Richard Snyder was seen to get out of the burning cockpit thru a hole and stand on the wing - i thought they may have shown this as it really happened - "The Man on the Wing "
I served in the 100th, RAF Mildenhall Box D.
Bucky Blue Skies and Meatball ❤😊
Any chance to watch this mini series in Netflix???
Should have included the P-51 escort scene or the food drops for the Hunger Winter.
Operation Chowhound and 'Many Thanks Yanks!'
Bucky wasn't mistaken for dead the guard had no ammo left
Will this series ever come out on DVD?
only if pirate :(
@@ronaldleigh1933 It's available now! Check it out.
Good series
the whole of last episode was nothing short of a masterpiece. I was swelled up throughout. Overall it was a super amazing show, did not feel bored at any point. Up there with band of brothers and the Pacific.
agree - me too - had tears throughout the series - i knew vets from the 100th
@@ronaldleigh1933 oh wow this must've hit you hard. They were all amazing men
I’m surprised at how down some commenters are on this show. It definitely wasn’t anywhere near band of brothers, but it was still pretty good. I felt about the same for this as I did for the pacific. The pacific was better, but it also isn’t close to band of brothers. Some good moments and episodes and some episodes that dragged. The acting wasn’t as strong in this as in the pacific.
I think the major problem was that all the real life guys are dead, so the show couldn’t impart any specific moments of intimate wartime brotherhood. There were the major events, and too much focus on the leads. The side characters had no personality.
None of the men in the 100th trained together, and the group’s most famous pilot was a replacement. The 100th is famous for everyone dying, and being Robert Rosenthal’s bomb group. While, Crosby actually hated Cleven and Egan in real life.
Agree with your last comments - too much focus on the Bucks (insignificant once shot down, and played by two mediocre actors).
The side characters should have had more air time.
Don't be surprised about the down comments - it really is a poor show at times, with many inaccuracies and mistakes. It is dramatic, and works as a crowd pleaser, but it is nowhere near the scale of Bob and Pacific (which is what Apple TV advertised it as being).
@@ChienaAvtzon The Bucks and Crosby never really interacted as friends. Mostly as professional colleagues.
@@CzechImp - “Masters of the Air” is far from a crowd-pleaser, and “The Pacific” is complete garbage.
Because people stupidly expected it to be Band of Brothers in the air, which it could never be. It was a totally different type of campaign.
One scene missing from the list - when Rosey is rescued by the Russians after bailing out of his plane. “Coca Cola, Roosevelt, Americanski”. Also, Eagan’s arrival at the POW camp should have been higher. And Rosey’s arrival back at the base as the only returning plane should have been highlighted more on this list.
Egan never returned to Thorpe Abbotts, in real life. He was repatriated straight back to the USA. That is probably why it was not included. As the entire thing was fictional, unlike Cleven escaping and returning to the base.
The imagery of Rosie under his parachute with his flaming plane falling behind him - wow !
@@ChienaAvtzon where did Cleven escape from.?
@@jacktattis - According to the after-report, Cleven escaped somewhere around Nuremberg. He was apparently on-the-run for a few weeks, and returned to Thorpe Abbots a few days after Rosenthal returned from Poland and the Soviet Union.
@@ChienaAvtzon was it a prison or POW CAMP
I honestly thought them german civilians beating up and killing downed airmen were farfetched but it was true...
What about the attempted landing but hit trees then exploded
I'm not sure about the date. That's how we wrote the date in the military, however I don't know how they wrote in WWII
Favorite World War ll film is The Big Red One .
No only two US movies were close to reality When Trumpets Fade and Hacksaw Ridge
This show was great!
This was a really good show. It sucks it got compared so much to Band of Brothers and The Pacific that it really wasn't appreciated for great show that it was.
Great series, yet I still prefer Band of Brothers.
They cannot be compared. Different type of campaign, different type of fighting, different type of unit. It required a different type of story telling.
Hello good morning 😮😮😮
All of you naysayers have no insight as to what this series was all about. You’re so determined to rip it apart to show how ‘smart’ you are that you totally forget the younger generation who may just watch this series, who just may decide to investigate WWII, who may just want to take up flying, who just may decide to go into the military to serve their country. My God … get a life and stop trying to make yourself feel superior than most of us civilians. I don’t care about the inaccuracies, nor the timeline of events. I’m 80 years old… my husband and his brother, my father and all 4 of his brothers, served during WWII. Maybe not in direct combat, except for my Uncle Kenneth, who was blown off a ship in Pearl Harbor, but they all served in some capacity. I’m proud of their service, as well as the men in MOTA, most of whom never made it home. Some of the actual crews who are still living, as well as many of the family members of the fallen pilots, attended the premiere and were totally captivated with the show, saying they felt like they were back in the cockpit again. Those are the only people who have a right to complain. Thank God there are some people who are supportive of MOTA, and the producers, and the cast and crew, who have poured their money, their hearts and souls into bringing the story of these men to life. I hope we will never forget these men who fought so valiantly to help end Hitler’s reign over the world! Thank you sirs for your service to our country!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
WELL SAID !!!! :)
I must disagree If not historically accurate the stories become lies and Lies told long and loud enough become facts. E.G .Eichelberger being the Commander in New Guinea , Johnson in a P47 beating a Spitfire IX in mock combat etc etc
Cheating was quite common in ww2, like what crosby did to jean, most likely jean did the same.
People don’t realize you were far more likely to survive as a ground troop in Europe. My father in law was a Bombardier 1st Lieutenant on a B17. Made it to Europe early 43. Yes you had hot showers and food plus a bed every day. Problem was you had to live long enough to enjoy it. He never spoke of the war nor did I ask. God Bless all who have served they deserve peace
I have to disagree If we are not historically correct we are just sending the wrong messages "Lies told long enough and loud enough become fact" And these mini series are so fall of them
E.G The scene in Band of Brothers where the Brit Tank commander will not engage the tank on his left after being told it was there. A complete nonsense scene and a bloody lie

“What took you so long?”
It was a decent series, but Band of Brothers and the Pacific were better.
Band of Brothers a joke really a joke
Unnecessary annoying narration. Avoid.
is it only me that thinks this is a crap show ; maybe we're too dumbed down since BoB days .....
Episode 3 the Regensburg mission, I think it’s the most gripping episode of TV I’ve ever watched. It’s such a shame the series went off a Cliff shortly afterwards
Were there really even 10 good moments from this disappointing series?
Show could of been better
Yeah...sorry, but this show sucked. Especially in comparison to "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific". Unfortunatley, they ruined what could have been an awesome show into a boring mediocre television yawner. My 'top 10 moment" was when it ended.
Awful show. Had so much potential but they ruined it
Sorry, but the Munster Raid beats Regensburg, by a landslide. Honestly, Ep.3 is arguably one of the worst episodes of the miniseries. While, Episode 5 is the strongest. It was impossible to differentiate between anyone in those planes. Whereas, with Munster, the focus was only on Egan’s and Rosie’s planes. The carnage was shown through their perspectives.
In regard to No.5, what makes that sequence even more tragic is that Rosie is Jewish himself, and does not even need the translators to explain what he is seeing and hearing. He also knew what that industrial complex really was, before the smell of death hit his nose. Which is why he asked to leave the truck.
But did that incident with Rosie actually happen, or was it made up to include a reference to the Holocaust in the series?
@@CzechImp - Rosenthal did see the camps in Poland, on his way to Moscow. That sequence was based directly on something that happened to him. Some things are so crazy that a screenwriter cannot make them up.
Thanks. I just watched the scene again. It is really well done. The only thing I would like to have seen them add is some sort of narration or titles. Żabikowo was also a prison camp, not just a labour camp for Jews - in the last years of the war it mainly housed captured Polish resistance fighters, as well as American and Soviet POWs. Many of these died there before the death march to Sachsenhausen in January 1945.
The fireside conversation between Rosie and Crosby was a really good opportunity to cover these topics, but was far too short. Rosies comment that ''they had it coming'' was too vague (and a bit corny). But Mann and Boyle were great - best two actors by far. @@ChienaAvtzon
Good day everyone God bless. Please remember the true meaning of Easter this holiday. Its not about Easter bunnies and Easter hunts and candy. Easter is about Jesus sacrificing himself so that our sins can be forgiven. Jesus took the burdens of the whole world and was betrayed and crucified in the process for us to be saved. God forgave everyone and what they did to his only son and now every lasting life exists for those who believe. Jesus rose on the third day in his body and showed us that he truly is the son of God.❤🎉🙏🏽

It only has 1 great moment.
And that is when it ended.
Everything up to Ep. 5 was generally very well done. However the whole series took a major nose dive after this. You can tell Covid restrictions, budget cuts and diversity issues really took hold and ruined what otherwise would have been a masterpiece.
What a missed opportunity this series was. Subpar execution, poor casting, no focus or unifying theme. It wasn't BAD, but it could have been so much better.
Utter nonsense.
Gave up halfway through...
...this brings back all the bad moments of this mediocre show rather than the few good ones.
They wasted this show man. The first 4 episodes were the exact same. Could have been great
All eps were mostly trash

@@CandiceVidito because I'm a completionist and loved the first two series and wanted to give it a chance to improve. Not my fault it didn't.
@@CandiceVidito I did immediately require a band of brothers episode to wash down the horrible acting and writing of this series. I felt much better afterwards.
