The new TV series has already completed some scenes, including an hour-long sequence depicting the infamous Schweinfurt/Regensburg mission in August 1943 and focusing on the action inside two B-17s of the 100th Bomb Group.
Expect it to be along the lines of the opening of 'Saving Private Ryan' – i.e., more action than words.
As far as I know, the name of the series has yet to be confirmed. 'The Mighty Eighth' was a term coined by British author Roger A Freeman in 1970 for his first book on the subject.
