Trivia
Flight scenes were filmed in replica B-17s using technology known as The Volume (used on The Mandalorian (2019)). The B-17s were suspended 50 ft in the air on a gimbal inside a 360-degree stage of seamless LED panel screens and ceiling. Actors could therefore react to flak explosions, crashes and planes flying in real time as the gimbal simultaneously reacted to scenarios.

Goofs
Throughout the series the standard B-17F version is shown, but by early 1944 nearly all B-17s in the European Theatre had been upgraded to the B-17G version with the distinctive powered twin nose turret to help combat frontal assaults by the Luftwaffe.

9/10

Devastating and beautiful.

This show was beautiful and heartbreaking.

The costumes were prefect.

All the actors were so professional and believeable, it was easy to forget I was watching a show.

I got sucked in and didn't come back out until it was over and then I watched it two more times.

The depiction of what the men went through was astounding.

The action scenes were so intense I could feel it in my chest.

They were gut wrenching and horrific.

I could never have imagine how terrifying it must have been for the men who really went through this.

It was a beautiful honor and tribute to the Airforce Men, who fought and died, in World War II.
