I find it hard to understand why so many posters can’t fathom the inclusion of the Tuskeegee airmen in MOTA. It’s nothing to do with ‘missing episodes’ - we all know why really…

Yes, it gave perspective to the presence of black flyers in the prison camp, but (overall plot wise), that didn't seem to be a major plot point requiring an entire episode for their intro. However it is quite possible that the Tuskegee group would have played a bigger, more significant role in the missing episodes - so perhaps the cynical view is just that - overly cynical. Because they made a contribution?"Pilots of the 332nd Fighter Group earned 96 Distinguished Flying Crosses. BTW, in the "Bloody Hundredth" companion piece, I was interested and more than little surprised that the Tuskegee POWs reported there was little overt racism displayed in the POW camps - I certainly didn't expect that based on the overall racial attitudes at the time. Apparently the 'we're all in this together' feeling was stronger than any racial biases. A criticism of the overall production - all the poorly lit, dark, nighttime scenes were annoying. Yea, I get that some of the scenes occurred at night, but the lighting was so dim it was difficult to see and understand what was going on in the scene. |
"so it is a legit question as to why the focus on just Tuskegee?"
Maybe to start making up for the decades they were ignored? |

Well the entire production, barring the aforementioned lousy lighting, worked for me !
Tuskegee Airmen and all ! |

They were not part of the 8th AF, which is what the series was about. Plus, there have been films and books about them - their contribution has already been recognised.

The boxset is now available on Amazon. Wouldn't like to speculate on its legitimacy, but it maybe the only chance to get it.

From what I understand the item advertised on Amazon is a bootleg production of very dubious quality. Seems to me that Apple TV are missing a trick if they do not release a legitimate version on BluRay or DVD.

Streaming for everything is their goal. They’ll make more money from that than any ‘one time sale’ |

There was another seller advertising a 'generic' DVD set of Masters of the Air on Amazon, but has since disappeared. The industry is progressively moving away from the physical medium. |

And why exactly do you think that they were sent to North Africa rather than the 8th AF?
