As the son of a B17 crew member stationed in England during 1943-44, who bravely completed 34 missions over Germany, I find "Masters of the Air" deeply resonant. My father's journey, marked by PTSD and self-medication, is a story familiar to many families of war veterans. This series, while criticized for some historical inaccuracies, captures the essence of what these young Americans endured. It paints a vivid picture of their relentless fight against fascism and totalitarianism.
For someone like me, who experienced this legacy indirectly, the show strikes a poignant chord. It's not just a historical narrative; it's a tribute to the unyielding spirit of our fathers who faced unimaginable odds. I wholeheartedly recommend this series to everyone, especially those connected to this part of history.
