I don't doubt the events, but the priorities seemed odd. The Spy, Tuskegee Airmen, the Eastern front, all just seemed rushed & underdone IMHO. Still, I'm glad the story got told.
Perhaps the series didn’t have the literary or cinematic excellence some of us expected or hoped for.
I was hoping to be reminded how men in their teens and twenties courageously accomplished such a frightful task. Men like like you and me, not John Wayne or Gregory Peck or Tom Cruise.
As with reading the book, I was moved, my gratitude was renewed. So my humble expectations were met, and my hat is off to those who produced and acted in Masters of the Air.
