German fighters could launch (or better, lob) missiles into US bomber formations, preferably from behind. As these rockets did not have any proximity fuses, they would detonate after a given time. Meaning that only expert Luftwaffe pilots like Galland were able to use these rockets effectively. If you launched them from the front, the rockets would probably go through the whole formation before exploding. These rockets did not fly well, which is why they were lobbed into the formations, falling through and losing altitude rapidly. I once read an account of an ace Luftwaffe pilot actually downing a P-51 with such a rocket, which seems unbelievable to me. *WWII US Bombers: Masters of the Air-Rocket Usage, shooting down bombers with questionable weapons and tactics*

But wouldn't one expect worse CGI in a movie from the 1980's? At least they had the excuse for it to look cheesy@@notfromthisworld7672 And quite frankly both have cheesy acting! lol However Masters of the Air will never be "a classic"

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

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

This was so expensive to make HBO bailed. They couldn't even make the series until recently because the technology wasn't available. They had to build three planes because there's none available anymore in flying condition. They filmed these things by doing a 360 surround of the cockpit so it was all the actors could see outside around them.

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.

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

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

Lmao idk what you mean by that but okay 😂

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!!!

This series was never about dogfighting. How many dogfights happened with B-17s? lol

This was about a different aspect of aerial warfare that didn't include dogfighting. Bombers were not built to dogfight. You obviously need to educate yourself.

US fighter pilots who flew during World War II recollected there was pretty much no dogfighting at all. The smallest element in any fighter formation was the pair, one leader, one wingman., The leader would seek out targets to attack. The wingman's duty was to stay on his leader's wing at all times. Usually it was just hit an run. Spot a lone, unsuspecting enemy fighter, get on his six and let him have a short, accurate burst and he went down before he realized he was being attacked. If, however, you missed your target and decided to turn the hit and run into a dogfight, you were now without the element of surprise, speed decreasing and probably attracting your enemy's mates. And while you were busy turning and diving, trying to get that SOB in your sights, probably you yourself ended up in the gun sights of an enemy fighter whom you weren't even paying any attention to. So it was mostly hit and run, all the while staying in formation (element of two planes).

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??

I felt the same way too. The Tuskege Airman plot seemed like an afterthought just for inclusivity's sake.

Can't follow you with any of the complains, except one. I also wanted to see more Tuskegee. It was a fascinating story. I thought we see fights against jets, damn it! One episode more! That was all I asked. Why just nine? On the other hand. They were lucky the shows was even made. The Pacific was a financial flop, HBO has only eyes for Dragons nowadays and Apple took it more or less, because it was almost done. The show was almost axed even though it was fully filmed.

Episodes 1-7 were ok in my opinion even with the stars wars like battle between the escorts and the luftwaffe. The letdown was the inclusion of the Tuskegee Airmen. If the producers think they need to make it an inclusive air war, there were already two movies made about the 332nd FG. Aside from the fictionalized story lines in Episodes 8 and 9. DEI strikes again and in the process dishonors the Red Tails.

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

Can't wait for your show to come out, I'm sure it'll be much better

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.

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

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

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.

@@namelastname1085 Well put. BTW, there is a content creator here on youtube called WW2.US.Bombers. He is really good on technical details, weapons, tactics, etc on the USAAF use of bombers over Europe, over the Atlantic, and over the Pacific. He mentions some of the inaccuracies of MOTA since its release in some of his most recent vids. He talks about how the Mustangs in one scene is incredibly inaccurate in specific terms: far too many were shown (he gives specifics of how exactly many Mustangs flew that particular mission (and he even counted how many he saw in this particular scene), along with P-47s and P-38s also acting as escorts for that mission, and how absurdly close the escorts were flying to the bombers. It really looked awful to me when I watched the clip. I mean, it was immediately noticeable! Escorts in reality flew very specific positioning relative to the bombers to achieve best protection, but to also prevent being shot at by bomber crews! Even though I don't have the level of expertise that this fellow has, I have seen so many inaccuracies that I wonder who the hell acted as technical advisors, and just how accurate the book was. There are so, so many books written on this subject, and why it is that this particular book was used for the story telling is befuddling to me. Maybe it is because of its recency. I dunno.

This show is so boring
