Aramide Tinubu In the final chapter of Apple TV+‘s “Masters of the Air,” a despondent Holocaust survivor reflects on burying every member of his family. He says, “To live, one must make choices.” The circumstances of war and survival make these decisions more complex and heart-wrenching. Based on the authoritative account by World War II historian Donald L.
Miller, “Masters of the Air” is a blistering war drama told from the perspective of the men of the 100th Bomb Group aptly nicknamed the “Bloody Hundredth.” A vast narrative — one that could have quickly fallen into a catalog of typical war series tropes — blossoms, becoming a fascinating chronicle of courage, loss and the ravaging of humanity. Created by John Shiban and John Orloff, with executive producers Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, the series largely reunites the team behind HBO’s 2002 Emmy-winning war drama, “Band of Brothers.” The show opens in the spring of 1943. Best friends, Maj.
Gale “Buck” Cleven (Austin Butler) and Maj. John “Bucky” Egan (Callum Turner) prepare to ship out to the Bluie West One Airfield in South Greenland. (The similar nickname is a quippy, well-explained inside joke between the pair.) Calm, reserved and even-tempered, Buck doesn’t drink, dance or gamble.
In contrast, Bucky, a hot-headed wildcard who gets to Greenland weeks before his friend, is ready for action. Still, when he arrives and embarks on his inaugural mission as a pilot in one of the huge bomber planes, he encounters more death, blood and brutality than he could have imagined. Upon landing, the typically jovial Bucky is stunned to silence.
