Masters Of The Air | Bombardment scene of masters of the air episode 2 

i know people are knocking the CGI but you gotta admit, this shit is nerve-wracking as fuck, they seem to capture the craziness of being in the middle of the chaos pretty well

There are only 6 B-17's in the world that can still fly and even fewer German fighters like the ME-109 and the FW-190 so it makes no sense that people are complaining about using CGI. CGI is fine as long as it is not overdone and in Masters of the Air the air sequences look and sound realistic. In other movies like Red Tails and Midway the air sequences and battles look like what you see in video games.

I don't think the shock of flak has ever been shown so well on screen

Well. No series can be perfect, but at least they aren't screaming in the intercoms.

Brave lads who went through this in WW2. Huge respect, true heroes.

I understand now how the flak could be so thick you could walk on it. The Germans really could pour it on with those 88's.

My father was in the Royal Artillery and when on leave in Norfolk would see the B17s and B24s return badly shot up, He told me they were hero's and such brave courageous men, he himself was wounded twice in WW2.

I think this bombardier is the coolest dude in the show. He sits on his helmet during flak, eat biscuit and enjoying the view when they are not out of danger and just over the worst mission in history. Cool as a jewel.

I'm surprised at the hate this clip gets.?? It's a great scene. Ppl can't imagine how terrifying it would be to deliberately fly into flak batteries in broad daylight.

I think this shows fantastic! Can’t wait to see all of it! 👏🏼😎

Is this the scene where they bomb the uboatbunkers in Trondheim? They are still standing today, 80 years later by the way, 😅

This show was great. Watched it all in two days. 😂

Timing/geometry of the impacts and overflight seems off. The way its cut makes it seem as though the impacts are occurring at the same time bombs are still dropping from the planes when there should be quite a delay between release and impact, with the bombs dropping behind as they give up some of their forward velocity to drag.

I once was playing IL2 Great Battles and did not recognize I entered enemy territory, the first flak was so loud it blasted in my headphones like a horror game monster. Imagine what these guys felt in real life..

America's greatest Generation! Thank God for you brave men!

The Norden Bombsight was a paradigm of WWII technology, a special analog computer and servo systems to control the airplane, it qualifies as early AI. Bomber crews claimed that they could 'drop a pickle in a barrel' with this technology.

As in "Band of Brothers" it should not been music in these scenes, it would make all more realistic.

Intense. Unbelievable training, discipline, and nerve required to go through that.

you get an appreciation for the damage that flak did - maybe not direct hits all the time but the wounds and damage to aircraft though shrapnel must've been a real problem. I thought this series was excellent.

Fact is the cgi is unconvincing in places, it's just true. There's no need to get upset over people mentioning that 😂

I'm just glad there aren't any migraine-inducing subtitles...

Thats so life like. Really brave men😮😮

I cannot imagine how these men performed😇 as they did

Honestly some movies CGI annoys me, but when I'm watching the best recreation of one of the craziest bombing runs of WW2 I don't mind as much as I'm here for the history. I just wish it wasn't only on AppleTV. I can't afford all these streaming sites.

All and well kids, but all you have to do is watch Gregory Peck in Twelve O'Clock High to watch a Master movie.

This is what my dad did In WWII. He was a navigator bombardier on the B 24, B29, and B-52’s..

Menphis belle will always be the best movie.

Interior scenes are very authentic, but why is exterior CGI so consistently awful with western made films ? Look at what the Japanese studios do in films like 'Eternal Zero' and 'Isoroku' - they are in a different league.

Basil Exposition heading the crew. Scenes inside the aircraft, pretty good. CGI, bit like flak.

I need to stop getting so pissed off when i work longer than i wished.... My life is insignificant to these dudes....all of em

Maybe it's just how it looks in these clips, but even the scenes of the men inside the planes look like an animation.

I question if the inter-plane comms were so clear

The Germans used a "Box Barrage" technique. They would aim all the guns at a point in the sky that the planes were predicted to be in when the AA shells went off. With the 88 and 128 Flak, it would result in a devastating barrage of shrapnel. The Germans didn't care Which planes got hit as long as Some got hit. It was a Very Effective method

I watched it with a close friend when it came out. A lot of people were introduced, so it was hard for me to follow. CGI is a hit or miss. But it ain't no "Midway". I know there are a dozen airworthy B-17s left but I don't want to hear of another Texas Raider crash. I think it is good, shows how bombing missions were not easy, and the intensity of flak, enemy fighters all around you.

How would you stay in formation with a full bomb load and two engines out?

Protecting the goods!!!;)

Great animation

I really cannot stand people knocking CGI. There are hardly any WW2 planes left. Certainly not enough to form large wings. As long as CGI is done well, not like Red Tails, then I am happy.

Have seen life magazine where young men in B-17. All are young man and bright future. But not all of them came home.

How do you get to watch this fantastic show? Its not streaming anywhere is it and I could not find any DVD.

One bomber. That's ten men. Ten.... How the fuck can it carry a payload with twenty balls of steel.

Just watched Memphis Bell again...34 years old...pisses all over this CGI muck...i really wanna cry cuz i had such high hopes for this show...but its nothing then COD...Mission #5 - Bomber... taking down 109's..

Did you spot the deliberate mistake? They misidentified the incoming fighter aircraft as JU-88's, these were German bombers not fighters, the attacking aircraft were ME-110's.

How many innocent women and children were killed by the bombs?

I don't know - the whole thing seems very artificial, especially the scenes with the planes in the crowd and the dialogue. I don't know - it's not for me!

Does anyone have any information on a dvd release?

Reading comments back and forth on the CGI- Just a thought for the anti-CGI crowd-would it have made a difference if the entire series was 100 % CGI? For the the pro-CGI crowd-what does the CGI do or have that you appreciate the most?

Roger That ? not sure if pilots used that term in the 1940s ? 60s maybe ?

Bravery.

👀 On seeing this I have to assume actors are much cheaper than CGI 👀

The b17 lineups are too compact, perhaps because it is intended for TV and not cinema. It looks like a star war battle. What a mess

Half the bombs landed on the neighbourhood behind the port...

Aircraft are too close together and too low. Looks like a collection of drones rather than a real formation . Hard pass for me.

This is only a cut or two above Red Tails

I mitraglieri in fusoliera in realtà nei momenti critici indossavano elmetto in acciaio e una sorta di veste antiproiettile.

Does anyone know why they call out flak? They can't really do anything about, right?

00:05 Those planes are far too close together. Did anyone do any research for this?!

The CGI looks not so good

wills=paperwork

this series really suffers from no training scenes back in the U.S. they got into the action too quick. I quit watching because I thought the characters were fake.

The only thing I find crap about this series, it doesn’t give the German perspective 80 years after the Second World War ended. It’s time for American movie makers to grow up.

At the altitudes these planes flew without protection of their eyes their eye balls would freeze.

Voila ce qu'il en coûte de dire non aux rotchild

😢😢

When the film “The Battle of Britain” was filmed in 1969, there was no CGI and there were real WW11 aircraft still available so all the flying sequences are real. That is no the case now and CGI is the only option - and from the little I have seen it looks pretty realistic.

Memphis Belle did it better. As did 12 O'Clock High.

This shows dialogue is painfully boring. Get rid of all female love interest scenes. Butler was a bad pick, we need actors we do not know very well, the guy from Dunkirk is very natural.

Watching it a second time. It still looks like a bag of sh#t and is packed full of inaccuracies. Hopeless.

Как называетса фильм

These guys are unprofessional as hell. Freaking out over the intercom, cursing at every little thing. Must be draftees.

I just don’t know how they did it.

Cgi is not bad…

Why are they all wearing googles on foreheads? What is the point of eye protection like this?

Too over acted . If you listen to RAF crews from Bomber Crews it’s much more matter of fact . Btw I still prefer The Dam Busters including Guy Gibson’s black Labrador.

Se imaginan a la generacion de cristal , en esa guerra?

I...HATE...FLAK!!!

0:02 CGI is terrible. Totally unrealistic.

Why are none of them wearing flak suits?

Menphis Belle is a zillions time better than this rubbish. CGI sucks big time.

murderers

Pretty boring

corny.

'roger wilco' AAAAAARGH! Dont they have even basic military advisors? 'Roger wilco' is not an never has been a valid term in radio communication. You can say 'Roger' OR you can say 'Wilco', both together never happens and is meaningless. Its like 'over and out'..... complete nonsense... you either say 'over' (over to you, awaiting reply) or you say 'out' (end of conversation)

日本語の字幕を　入れてくれ　よろしくお願いします

now u understand WHY USA invested heavily in millisitic engineering after 1945...

No sound of shrapnel hitting the plane? This is stupid

imagine surviving 52 mission like this, robert rosenthal are GOAT

Watched both episodes several times already and it's dam good. They did it right I am soooooo pleased as I knew some of these guys and was so afraid they'd mess this up but not to worry people those who actually did this I feel would be proud of it.

When Band of Brothers first came out (before RU-vid) a big complaint was things happened fast and it was hard to tell one character from another. Kind of the same with The Pacific. But once you've watched scenes multiple times you really see what's going on, and they did a fantastic job. I think this is going to be great to watch multiple times, and will get better each time.

My father was Flakhelfer in Munich, 1943. He was 14 years old.

My father's boss was a bombardier in a B-17. For his birthday 20-odd years ago, my parents found him an old Norden bomb sight assembly and bought it for him. He burst into tears, both from being touched by their gift, and the memories which were not so great in and of themselves... but dad had been through Korea, and understood the kind and type of impact that gift would bring. His boss passed away shortly after my dad did, but until and even past the end of their living relationship, they remained the best of friends... because they understood each other.

The CGI is very good.

Looks and sounds like AI generated BS...Ike they made a video game instead of a movie...I'm out.

Speen one day out call duty modern look real gemas ..... really real

Chaos, no way, they were in hell!!!!!

They show contrails streaming from the bombers, but it appears that they are bombing from an altitude that would not promote contrail development. If you look at the scene where the bombs are being released, it just looks like the altitude is much too low. It's certainly does not appear to be from 25K feet!. Even so, the imagery is spectacular. Some of the CGI looks almost cheesy, while other times it's OK, while at times it looks really beautiful. It's inevitable that mistakes, omissions, and inaccuracies will be made in a production like this. I've already seen vids where experts on the airwar over Europe have pointed out various errors. Some of them are pretty minor, while others are pretty noticeable--especially if you're an expert. But the average viewer won't know the difference. I was skeptical of this series based on the trailers that I have seen. The series looked too glitzy, clean, and showy, but after seeing some of the actual clips, I may be convinced to watch the whole series. It has been my hope, as I'm sure it has been with plenty of other history buffs with a particular interest in US involvement in WW2, to see the air campaign against Germany done right. I've been reading this stuff since I was ten years old (late 1960s), and have been utterly consumed by this subject. I even became a pilot in order to experience the feel of flying an airplane. One of the planes I owned was a 1946 Globe Swift, and they look and fly like WW2 fighters--just scaled down versions. Anyway, the last couple attmpts at capturing this air war that come to mind are Memphis Belle (1990) and Red Tails (2012). Both of these movies were truly awful. I could not even get further than twenty minutes into Red Tails before I nearly threw up with disgust. What I shit show mashup of WW2 air combat and Star Wars. It made a mockery of the contribution that black Americans of the time made to the war effort in that hard won campaign.

Oh for f*ck sakes... Everyone seems to be a master of CGI nowadays! People just have to pick at things, It must give them some sort of satisfaction?! (Amazing series, it looks equally amazing!)

There is a very bad prt on these scene.. they are comming from sea, so they would not have been targeted by Flak 88 from that far away.. since they do not float... and flak 88 range being smaller than the bombing range displacement of a B17 at 10 km height.

Looks like a avarage video game

They should make a movie out of the book 'Catch 22'. This is too much Hollywood shit.
