I’ve just watched the first episode and sat here on my comfortable sofa in complete silence, shock and disbelief. In the words of one of the greatest leaders of my island nation "Never was so much owed by so many to so few" prime minister Winston Churchill on 20 August 1940. I am so grateful for their sacrifice and for the peace that they have created. May their sacrifice NEVER be forgotten.
I had a family member who was a B-17 Bombardier over Europe during WW2 just like these men. 8th Air Force, 92nd Bombardment Group of the Army Air Force. Credited with 32 bombing missions over enemy-occupied Germany and France. He flew June 6, 1944, D-Day, with a bombing mission over Normandy, France. He was honored with the Distinguished Flying Cross for one of the most dangerous targets of an oil refinery in Germany. A newspaper asked how him years later, how it felt to bomb your home town in northern Germany ? He said, “well it actually didn’t bother me much, until the Nazi’s started shooting.” He passed away at the age of 99 a couple years back.
My dad was a tanker, I asked how they knew where the German were. He said they send some of us forward and we would find out. I was old enough not to ask anymore questions after his reply.
My dad entered the USAAF in early 1943 and was sent to 6 months of engineering training at Lafayette College, then to Greensboro AAF awaiting further training assignments. He qualified as a bombardier, air gunner, navigator and radar observer and was being trained up for pathfinder missions connected with the invasion of Japan flying in a specially equipped A-26. He was headed to Okinawa when the A Bombs were dropped, ending the war and the need for his missions. He never left the US and ended up the war in Lake Charles, Louisiana. He was recalled to the USAF as a navigator instructor for the Korean War and then served as a legal officer. It should be noted that the USAAF lost 15,000 airmen and officers killed during domestic operations in the USA during the war.
Wow that's a lot of training deaths !!! well, I guess training and other operations. You sure on that numbewr?
Their sacrifice was partly down to American bravado. When they entered the war, they didn’t want to listen to what the RAF had learned and decided on their own nieve strategy of daylight bombing without fighter escorts.
They believed their own propaganda about B-17's being "Flying Foretresses"
Brave men one and all. Alas, all for Wall Street. Nothing changes.
I hope the cliche air war movie sequence of 'do a bit of flying, break off from combat, take oxygen mask and googles off, do a bit of acting, put mask and goggles back on and do a bit more flying isn't repeated too often. It gets really tedious.
Hopefully this gets some play on other platforms besides Apple soon.
Unlikely since its an apple tv series
I know, I hate this apple tv crap.
I suspect any semblance between this and the book will be limited only to the title. The book reads like a Ken Burns documentary. A magnificent, tragic, horrifying tapestry of sweeping grand strategies paid for with the lives and wellbeing of airmen and civilians alike... their stories told in intimate detail alongside a no-holds barred examination of the errant dogma and hubris of the politicians and commanders who made the key decisions.
Wow that's five minutes of boredom.
Hope it gets better
Cgi very heavy in the 1st episode...hope it calms out and doesn't become red tails 2
How the hell did the belle to 25 mission
Vi los 2 episodios y la serie se ve prometedora comparada con otras peliculas como menphis belle aqui hay otras manos y otros recursos..tengo pensado comprar el libro ...igual es interesante leer la historia..tengo varios libros historicos como tigres en el barro ,ases de la aviacion ,lobos de mar ,etc..
My father was a tail gunner on a B 17. Stationed at Kneittishal airbase in England. He flew 30 missions and was fortunate to return after each mission. My Dad and I watched the Movie "Memphis Belle". He was disappointed in the movie stating that when leaving for a mission there was no goofing around , playing tricks on each other, etc. We were scared to death. Complete silence! RIP Dad.
How timely it illustrates exactly what it cost to defeat Germany.
Manitowoc Minute
As many Americans died in the skis over Europe than in the entire Pacific theater in WWII!
Winning a war costs a fortune. Losing a war costs everything.
@@sillyone52062 I like that. So what would you say about winning a war and not a single person from your military was KIA/MIA? And, it only cost you about 10% of your Defense Budget and half of that money was spent in your own country up grading your Military/Industrial production! A deal at twice the price!
Love it.very 1940s
Manitowoc, WI ... REALLY?
LOL been there
Faces, facial expressions and bodies did not look like this in the 1940s. These are 2020s faces and bodies all dressed up '.
No shit Sherlock, all the people are the 1940s are either dead or old.
In the comfort of my lounge having no experience of anything like this, how did they do it?
‘Gale’, just a huge powerful storm.
As for letter writing. Back in the 50’s to the 60’s, my father who served in the RN, wrote every two-three days to mum whilst at sea for 6-9months. Letters would be priceless.
Lest we forget.
🦘🇦🇺👍
seriously, where are the bombs and planes? It is war, not a harlequin romance novel.
this is the first 5 min dip shit
It’s just the first 5 minutes, have watch the whole series
the hitler family is larger than anyone would have imagined.
The main problem with this series is that it didn't use any real aircraft. They had two taxiable (but not flyable) B-17 replicas., Everything else was done with CGI. Same problem with the 2019 'Midway.' To my eye CGI always looks fake.
@colinbarron4: Give CGI another 10 years or so of pairing with AI and I'm sure that the fakery will be far less obvious even to aviation experts.
