Masters of the Air. Season 1. Episode 9. We were the true masters of the air. 

"It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed." - U.S. Air Force Marshal

In real life, Rosie was actually shot down TWICE (Sep 1944 + Feb 1945) and he made it back each time. He completed 52 combat missions and earned 16 decorations. He passed away peacefully in 2007. RIP.

"We're NOT bailing over Berlin" Can't really argue that, right?

My uncle Elvin was a tail gunner, horrible PTSD, loud noises set him off! ( screaming, yelling and throwing stuff!) He was a friend of Snuffy Smith, (Maynard Harrison "Snuffy" Smith was a United States Army Air Forces staff sergeant! "Medal of Honor" receiver" "Couldn't do a Damm thing right, except when it counted!" Elvin said. (Snuffy too, suffered terrible PTSD!) When Secretary of Defence, came to give Smith his medal, they couldn't find him? He was on KP. peeling potatoes, punishment detail!😅 (Wikipedia covers this, kind of!)

WE'RE OKAY LUKE, LOOKS LIKE WE-- *BANG*

I am sorry that i could not show the entire opening scene. I tried but i got blocked. I hope you still enjoy it. Have a wonderful day!

“We were the true Masters of the Air, Season 1, Episode 9 (2024).”

2:34 wish there we're more perspectives like this in the show and the CGI bombers here actually look decent as well

In 1945 most of the USAF bombers were B-17Gs, I only see E and F versions in the scenes, which were mostly in olive green and most of the G versions were in natural polished silver. Somehow it's not really depicted perfectly.

Crosbys narration in the beginning. stunning "We were the true masters of the air"

Quite decent VFX in this one, especially during the Dutch humanitarian food drop

Very interesting to read and also important background information. Thank you for that.

They were mixed, B17-C,G,E ECT throughout the war! My Neighbor John Mass, was a recovery mechanic with 8th! He went out to crashed bombers, cleaning out blood and body parts, repairing them in farmer's fields, put JATO rockets on them popping them up, back to flying again! 😢 Haunted him, till the day he died! Asked to work in aircraft maintenance, he worked on boats, after the war! My uncle Elvin was a tail gunner, horrible PTSD, loud noises set him off! He was a friend of Snuffy Smith, (Maynard Harrison "Snuffy" Smith was a United States Army Air Forces staff sergeant! "Medal of Honor" receiver" "Couldn't do a Damm thing right, except when it counted!" Elvin said. (Snuffy too, suffered terrible PTSD!) When Secretary of Defence, came to give Smith his medal, they couldn't find him? He was on KP. peeling potatoes, punishment detail!😅 (Wikipedia covers this, kind of!)

Yeeeesssss....you were the MASTERS! Up there in the skies....

The Tuskegee Airmen were just tokens in this series. Before it aired, I thought they would show them escorting bombers, but all they did was get shot down and be prisoners.

P-51D Mustang's in that "Big Beautiful Doll" checkerboard nose paint scheme. My personal favorite next to the Red Tails and the Blue Nosed Bastards of the 352nd.

This show really belongs a big screen. Big as the sky.

4:33 I’m willing to bet that popped up in his nightmares. Jesus

I really loved the final episode. Nate Mann was especially incredible.

"“We were the true Masters of the Air.." Proceeds to get shot down while on a bombing run.

Anyone else notice the pirate mug on a shelf in the final episode? Nod to 12 o'clock high??

Shouldn’t these 17’s be G models?

Such a good show! Love the return to air in the finale 💙

como se llama la pelicula

I guess the b-17g did not exist

I'd like to see a ME 262 Rotte in action

1:15 Did the Germans have surface to air rockets in WW2? What are those supposed to be? A quick search brought me to the Taifun rocket though it states that that was never deployed operationally.

ディズニープラスでこういう海外ドラマやってくれー

If they’re going on the Berlin, those are probably those big giant concrete flat towers are fighting. Those things had 80 eights and 128 mm flack guns

Thats quite a hilarious statement, comming from a country that allways gets involved in WorldWars by the time they are basically won.

Oh yeah. My grandmother, my mother and her younger brothers we're under these glorious bomb carpets. They survived, but 650.000 children, wives, grandmothers and grandfathers did not. Meanwhile, all the soldiers were far away at the fronts.

It was a good series but I felt this ep was slapped together

Were are the Bendix chin turrets lol

Is this a movie?

Здравствуйте. Как называется фильм? Сериал?

1:15 - didn’t know surface to air missiles were thing in WW2, Germans must of been that advance.

There is no seasons. Just 9 episods.

After while they ran out of things to bomb.

which type of rocket were used by the germans from the ground? Wasserfall, Rheintocher etc. were bigger, right?

Instead of doing band of brothers 2...with could include some dogfights like this scene

Yup, uncontested.

Not Season one. It's the only season. Show's over.

I don't get all the hate, It depebds on what you expect I guess

Смотрим продолжение в фильме Большая прогулка 1966 года

thats area bombing

If the plane is losing speed and altitude then why did the jumpers zoom the opposite direction so quickly? They would maintain the same momentum wouldnt they?

where to watch for free

Bare metal B-17Fs in 1945…and in the next scene, unicorns…

Книга "Бомбардировщик" Лен Дейтон. Если интересно.

This looks like an il2 sturmovik trailer

What are the fighters doing in the flak with the bombers?

besides episode 7 there were some fantastic VFX given the subject matter. VASTLY better than Red Tails

I mean consider Soviet was allied that time. Not surprised that vilable option for this bomber is to reach the eastern allied line. Not sure how many does Soviet forces encounter and rescue downed US airman during ww2

Why is elvis narrating?

Soviet lines, not russian

Looks like the Berlin Tempelhof Airport

Not becaused u had the best plane thats for sure

Saltar todos o morireis.el motor 1 y el 4 no funcionan y el 2 esta ardiendo!!!.

A way to show that you are not the same as others is that you believe in Daddy God And it's just movie but that someday will be real blessings usa😢😢

What name of the aircraft pls 😢

"Rockets .. ohh shit the SAMS opened fire" ...WHAT A CRAP! .. wasserfall never got fully operational

Why show older B-17E/F's (1943 era) instead of the very different looking B-17G with the very distinctable chin turret under the nose which was used by the 100th in february 1945? Might sound like nitpicking but when you have all this historical research, money and CGI available why do such a sloppy inaccurate job? It downgrades the historical accuracy of the series.

On top of the chin-less G models, the no Red take off/Red insignia landing blooper in Ep. 5, I just confirmed with a friend, throughout the series it's .30 cal shell casings and links all over the floor... not 50bmg. Sad.

Бедни лиоечик🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

No time for mourning the dead

And now show me a series telling the story of my Grandfathers - "Flakhelfer Children" watching this Bombers comming in ;)

👍

Flew uncontested? Not true! There was the occasional group of He162s flown by rookies with 6 weeks of experience every now and then... Actually im kind of bummed that they didnt do at least 1 scene featuring a jet interception

The last bombing scene of the show and even that didn't get much love to make it dramatic enough... As much as I think EP9 is a nice ending, still far from being memorable.

Podrían Netflix o Disney poner este tipo de series, y no la mierda que ponen.....

B17

Dumb movie at that altitude they dont require oxyen mask

"In the sky, the 8th Air Force flew uncontested." Yeah, except for all those black puffs of smoke popping off everywhere that were about to knock you out of the sky.

wie viele dieser Typen sind eigentlich drauf gegangen...... 🥳

what overbearing CGI. How'd they manage to do a better job in the 1980s with Memphis Belle...

Это вам не беззащитный сербов бомбить , немцы вам зубы то пообломали .

^ " Silver, as in SILVER (N.M.F) Boeing B.17-'F's in 1945 " ????? About as NON REALISTIC as "Pink 1973 Mach.1 Mustangs" in the F'kn Steve McQueen film "Bullitt"

This series bounced around from terrific, to pretty bad. The terrific parts show what this could have been. The bad parts, like the Tuskeegee airman scenes, brought it down a few notches. Just my opinion, of course.

Disappointed in how many inaccuracies in this movie even with CGI help - natural metal finish on B-17F's ? Not even close to reality! 😞

What happens tho them is they lands in Russian territory ?

They cheaped out on the cgi too, it's like dollarama cgi

я не хочу дивитись про смерть.,наглу

Well.....Is Masters of the Air true or not? You did not answer your own question

Masters of the Ass

They are literally killing civilians and the series depitc them as hero.

This show is so boring

This show was such a disappointment. 75% soap opera nonsense with bad acting and writing.

What a disappointment after having seen the last episode! From the first episode, I was waiting for an episode, just one episode, totally devoted to the art of dogfighting. I was hoping to see combat scenes that would surpass those we saw in Michael Bay's Peral Harbor or Red Tails by George Lucas. In my opinion, the producers tried to focus on the different stories of the characters, but they did not succeed because they lacked much more time to develop them. In the end, neither the best fights nor the best story. What a waste of resources!!!

Show lost steam halfway and got boring. It should have been 4 episodes max. The air battles were unrealistic - you don’t hit a fighter with a measly 0.50 cal and immediately explodes. I really wanted to like it, but it was a disappointment.

Again, lousy, inaccurate CGI work. None of the Mustangs that I can see have contrails. I know that it's a minor error, but too many things are bothersome about the clips I have seen. I may watch an episode to give the series a chance, but I just am not at all enthused about it. I even hate the title of this series....and the book. Maybe my expectations were just too high, and that no one could or would deliver. With a big budget and a required ROI, one cannot expect to see this chapter of US involvement in the war done right. Instead, mythology is created, and it's bad mythology at that. The real thing is infinitely more interesting. I was born in 1961, so I grew up surrounded by these guys who served in the war. They were my dad, my uncles, neighbors, guys at the barber shop, guys in town, guys all over the USA working at businesses and factories. NFL coach Tom Landry flew B-17s, and we all knew it, but no one made a big deal over it--because everyone served! And nowadays, they are venerated as gods and called Masters of the Air. What bullshit. It was just so common for me to talk to these men and, if they were willing, they would sometimes reveal some parts to me about their wartime experiences. Rarely, they spoke in an animated way about it, but it was damned fascinating when they did. And I always felt a small rush when they talked to me, a then boy or teen or young man in his twenties. But, Hollywood tends to turn real life events and real people into caricatures. And god how I hate it!!! But then, maybe that is what the paying public wants. Or maybe that is what the creators just do by default, and the price is that the real story and the realities are turned into glossy myth. To that end, I say that I will stick to the books and my memories of the guys who showed me their scars, their photos albums, their souvenirs, and told me in a spare way their stories.......and leave it at that. Most movies cannot match that, nor do these experiences justice. On a more positive note, there have been a few compelling scenes that look pretty good. Compared to old war movies done after the war and through the 1980s, I will admit that there are things that can be done now that could not be done decades ago. Watching Memphis Bell is just such an example. The air scenes just don't look good at all. The CGI here tops that and tops anything but the real thing. Still, there are just too many shortcomings with the technology. Either that, or the creators just don't know how to get certain details right due to lack of knowledge. That might actually be a shortcoming of technical advisors. Or the technology still needs more tweaking and refinement. Check six.

What a dissapointment this series was. The characters are too cliche and the CGI is just horrible. And why the strange side step with the Tuskegee Airmen?? It added nothing to the series and did not fit into the story at all. Fighters based in Italy vs bombers based in England??? Was this to make the series more inclusive??

This show looks absolutely awful. The vfx are embarrassingly bad.

Show sucked

Almost 10 years to make this show and it generally sucked. Nice job Hollywood.

From Ep1 to Ep9, just an awful, awful show...

P-51 still flying close to the bombers.. Surface-to-air missiles never used... P-51 attack prisoners column in the night? Really? And in the darkness a colored pilot realize that the plane was a P-51.. He had infrared/thermical eyes? This serie is the biggest collection of aerial warfare bullshit... 🤣

useless series

I've been watching clips of this show and I'm thinking about picking up apple tv for a mouth just to watch it. But the amount of negativity and outright hostility in the comments is staggering. Yeah okay, the CGI isn't amazing but does it tell a good story and is it (more or less) accurate?

Xoviet not russia......:))))

Воевали на чужой войне развязанной чужими руками за интересы своих капиталистов, все как обычно.
