This series turned out to be pretty good. I’ve never watched anything of a show movie or series where it showed the bombers aspect of world war II. A little bit of literature B17 bomber very beautiful however it can only hold anywhere from 8, 000 to 12,000 lb of bombs the British Lancaster with haul 22,000 lb of bombs very impressive.

Finished it a couple of nights ago. OMG what a series. Amazing scenery and top knotch acting. Well done. Loved the very end where they gave us updates on the real ppl depicted in the series. Would love this to carry on.

I never imagined the B-17 fuselage peeling. Nor did I realize that at one point they were flying missions just to get the German fighters up in the air. My father didn’t talk a lot about the flights. I have even more respect for these flyers to keep flying those missions day after day sometimes. Love you Dad.

It was a good & accurate series. Could have made it longer to be more detailed.
If you are interested there is a 1hr making of the series movie called The Bloody Hundredth.

Darn right I’m interested. My mother was 10 In England during the time of this story. My Father was 11. When she talked about it she cried, every time. My father couldn’t, and never did, talk about the war at all. Tx my friend, that was cool of you. Be well and PM me anytime I can help.

My dad was in India during World War II. Yeah a lot of folks don’t want to talk about it because the bottom line is War is Hell.!
