Amazing episode, the best yet! Really loved the juxtaposition between Egan's POW journey and the Flak house. It highlighted how much trauma was inflicted regardless of whether you landed safely or not. Great moments of how each person dealt with the trauma in their own way, couldn't help but get emotional watching Rosie take a moment before getting back into the cockpit.

I enjoyed the interview of Harry Crosby’s actor Anthony Boyle and more about Harry Crosby. Of interest regarding Harry Crosby, he graduated from Oskaloosa High School in Oskaloosa, Iowa in 1937, before later attending the University of Iowa in the Fall of 1941. Harry Crosby was very involved with music, the arts and journalism while in High School, so his later career in writing and journalism started when he was in high school. In the yearbook for 1937, Harry Crosby’s quote was “I never dare be as witty as I can.” He graduated a year before my uncle at OHS, and would have liked to know how well my uncle had known Harry Crosby in this small Iowa town. Great work on the background of Masters of the Air!!

Thank you all. A Masterpiece. You make each subsequent episode better by standing on the shoulders of those preceding. The wearing down of leadership at Thorpe Abbots is just as apparent as with the aircrews. The contrasts, carefully and skillfully crafted in part 6 are extremely effective storytelling. Thank you. I fell off my chair at the Dale Dye quoted line about actors with "hands in their pockets" -- I knew what Anthony was going to say before he said it. My Army drill sergeant from 47 years ago used the same line on me and my comrades.

I can totally relate David. My Drill Sergeant, SSG Tupper at Ft Dix, N.J. in 1978 used the same kind of language. I found myself repeating his words at times to soldiers in my units as well when I as a Squad/Section/Platoon Sergeant. It kind of reminded me of sounding like my Dad when dealing with my children and realizing that he was right all those years ago. Those were amazing moments for me. Did you serve in the US Army then?

@@davidk7324 I initially began as an 11B in 1977 with the Army Reserves. In 1979 I was released to join the Regulars as an 68M AH-1 Armament Systems Mechanic. I served in the 101st Assault Helicopter BN, then transferred to the 229th Attack Helicopter BN in 1981. Over the years I acquired 68J Aircraft Armament Fire Control Repairer, Then when I joined the National Guard in 1987, I worked on UH-1C Gunships, AH-1 Mod S Gunships, UH-1 Slicks and OH-6A Scout Aircraft. Later I transferred to the TNARNG and worked on AH-1F Modernized Cobras, OH=58 Warriors and AH-64 Apaches. I was alao a UH-60 Mechanic and later 15N Avionics Technician. I retired in 2019. I still recall the names of all my Drill Sergeants though.

@@davidk7324 BTW I truly love the 91 series guys. Today they are called 68W. So many of my fellow veterans were medics in the Medevac unit in which I served for a bit as a Maintenance Platoon Sergeant. Wonderfully brave soldiers and aircrew. Much like what we are talking about now.

@@davidk7324 I've had many MOS in the 41 years I served between the US Army Reserve, the Regular Army, the MAARNG and the TNARNG: 11B, 68M, 68J, 67Y, 15J, 15N. With the exception of 11B Infantryman, most of the others were Aviation Maintenance duties, split between Aircraft Armament Repair, Aircraft Maintainer, and Avionics Technician. There are some jobs I did which I never received the MOS, but was able to perform. My Active duty time was from 1979-1987. The rest was 2 1/2 Tears Reserves, and ARNG from 1987 to 2019.

Best show since Band of Brothers and The Pacific

@JackAShepherd 8 ай бұрын

IMO Band of Brothers > Masters of the Air >>> Pacific... I just couldn't get into The Pacific -- I think perhaps the acting wasn't as good, and the men's connections just didn't feel deep/authentic

My Grand Uncle was shot down March 30th 1945 on a recon mission over Italy in his B-25 "She's Engaged" (379th M). He was a POW of the Germans for just about a month before the war ended.

No-one has mentioned yet that Stalag Luft III is where 'The Great Escape' took place, as in the 1963 movie starring Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson et al. Ijs.
