Page 1 of Masters Of The Air (AppleTV+)

Some 9 years after it was first announced, last week production finally commenced on the third Hanks/Spielberg-produced WWII mini-series Masters Of The Air.

Based on the book Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought The Air War Against Nazi Germany by Donald L. Miller, the series charts the actions of the Eighth Air Force of the United States Army Air Forces during World War II.

I need a new house so I can watch The Pacific... (because I'm sure there will be explosions)

I've still not watched The Pacific, have the book on my bookcase unread. Watched Band of Brothers a couple of times, and I think I read it as well.

BoB is one of those things that regularly pops up on hotukdeals, i'll try to remember to post in bargains thread next time :) might be worth checking music magpie

The Pacific is rather good but a slightly different kind of beast from Band of Brothers.

May well have to get myself a free trial of Apple TV once this has run so I can watch this and Greyhound as the latter is taking its time to release on other platforms...
