My son Nathen Solly is in this. His first role shortly after graduation from University. Plays Lt John Hoerr. Cant wait to watch it with him and family on 26th. Go Nathen ❤

@huntybangz Definitely. Going to be awesome

[@Blimkat]

That's awesome, you must be proud. Great group of young lads he's working with. I love this cast. This series is looking dope so far. I like it more than the Pacific already. Band of Brothers though, hard to top that but this will be a nice compliment to Hanks and Spielberg's former series.

[@callsign_scooter9602]

My guess this is the Reykjavik approach, and boy! If they are showing their journey just to get to Britain, I'm excited to see what they have in store for 9 episodes! The Northern Atlantic journey just to get there is a story on it's own, glad it will be finally portrayed on the big screen!

@@callsign_scooter9602 Matt Guthmiller’s series on their DC-3 flight to the 75th anniversary of D-day is great overall, but this part with the leg to Greenland is in a league of its own. The radio exchange with an airliner over the North Atlantic gives me goosebumps too: “Douglas, what’s your type?” “DC-3” “Outstanding!”

[@thegreatdominion949]

It looks a bit too mountainous for Reykjavik. More likely it's one of the "Bluie" strips in southern Greenland (Narsarsuaq?). These are still regarded as the most dangerous strips in the world to fly into. See the episode of "Ice Pilots NWT" where they land there on a trans-Atlantic ferry flight with CL-215 water bombers.

[@NickVTA]

Yeah, I thought the same thing. I feel like even though Memphis Belle was made over 30 years ago, that there's definitely scenes in that movie that looked better because they didn't rely on CG because they didn't necessarily really have much of it back then. Yes there were some scenes that maybe they could have improved if they had CG, like some of the stop motion stuff. But that would have been it. I think it was so well done using real craft, I'm sure they could have multiplied the planes in the sky from scenes the shot with real planes or models and then multiplied it with CGI. But this looks kind of like call of duty or some other video game. I'm sure I'll probably look at it or watch it but I'm planning to be a little disappointed like when I saw 15 minutes into "Midway"

[@hulkhoganstights6596]

It looks really bad

[@kurtcobainenstein3831]

My great uncle Jack flew B-24s over Germany during the war, and had to ferry his brand new Liberator over the Atlantic to sub-Saharan Africa and then over the Mediterranean and Spain to England. His story is touched upon a bit in the FABULOUS book “Elusive Horizons” by Keith C. Schuyler. He and his crew had locals paint nose art on his new plane only to get put in a ruddy old one as soon as they got to England. They ended up flying ~12 missions before being shot down in Holland and taken POW in spring 1944. I’m very excited to see the ferrying process depicted in this show! Thank you sincerely to all the incredibly brave and fearless men gave their all to save the world. And thank you Uncle Jack! I know he would be ecstatic to see a show like this!

[@KrokLP]

Any estimate how many civilians, women and children he incinerated in ~12 missions?

[@Marcsharp82]

​@@KrokLP Well, Maybe Germany shouldn't have started the war.

I got to take a ride in the only currently flying B-24 Diamond Lil last summer - it was an amazing experience! Sitting in that plane I can only image what it was like for Jack

[@kylewood8327]

My dad flew in B-24’s, 465th According to his diary they flew down to Brazil then over to Africa then to southern Italy. I’m most definitely looking forward to this series too.

[@mezaviation]

I love that shot at 0:33 with the gunner, being seated in the front, can barely see the runway and in an almost 45° angle from his point of view. It shows how scary that look feels for non pilots in an extreme crosswind condition

[@bllauck11]

It's scary for the pilot also.

[@Cyclemanjohn]

Glad to see the “Third” installment in the epic that was WWII. As a son of the greatest generation with ties to the air story I’m glad to see that this will finally be told.

[@phillippope6844]

Big thanks to Tom Hanks for brining the stories of men, like my grandfather, who served in the Army Air Corps and flew in B-17's during World War II, to life. Really excited to step into that world and get a glimpse of what he saw as a young man.

[@hoaxdeath01]

Just heard Dale Dye was on board the project as an advisor on this series too, can't wait.

[@Capt_OscarMike]

Reminded me landing my massive sub-motor-vehicle speedlimit Cessna 152 during late on a hot, humid Southern Afternoon...a downburst of rain and wind had passed through before I arrived but was enough to cause massive change in air temp...pressure and drafts...hit my head on the top of the cockpit and my door flung open when I was turning base to final...wasn't fun...So I feel things guys pain...or like to imagine I do...they were beyond heroic...true hero's

[@MrBrutal33]

The thing that made Band of Brothers and The Pacific so good was how real they felt...the first jarring cut to a CGI bomber ruined this for me.

[@ghostcreeper243]

Boo hoo deal with it old man

[@MA-iv7ol]

Yeah, looks like IL-2 video game graphics. They don't teach history in schools anymore so it should be a hit this current generation, they just want lame cgi action.

[@k.t.1641]

You deal with it little squeaker

[@thehistoricalgamer]

I hate to break it to you, but there's literally no way to do a bomber offensive series without a LOT of CGI. There aren't enough B-17's to make raids look right without CGI, and they can't put B-17's into serious/dangerous flying situations either with as few of them that exist, let alone the safety of the actors. Its a lot easier to avoid CGI when your action is on the ground. If this was made in the 70s when they had more airframes maybe the could do a better job, but even practical effects shows back then had goofey looking models, heck the special effects on Memphis Belle in the 90s which was mostly real planes were terrible, just no way around it to some extent.@@MA-iv7ol

What I would really like is a series of Jagdgeschwader 7. Half a dozen lads piloting the Me262 against 800 B-17 and 600 Mustangs and coming back is a story worth telling

[@anthonynolan1885]

Obviously they can't make this without CGI but the CGI and physics of said CGI need to be spot on and this clip clearly shows that it's not as good as it should be. They should've combined an element of a 4k flight simulator to give them the correct physics and proper storyboarding

[@wipe64]

Thank you. I am sorry but everything I’ve seen so far from the CGI of this miniseries IS VERY BAD. I don’t know how people can be so blind about it. Just check a random DCS trailer and you will see how a plane is supposed to move.

[@johnsmith4589]

If that was Reykjavik, we did almost that same sideways landing in a C-130 in the early 90’s.

[@SCFreedom73]

My first impression based on the trailer and this preview clip : bad CGI and cheezy action music. I wish they had taken a more sober approach, like in Band of Brothers : no unnecessary music when they dropped over normandy, no unnecessary music when they were getting shelled at Bastogne. And whatever music was there was spare, minimalist and tasteful and only served to elevate some of the quieter dramatic moments. I don't understand why Hollywood, or the average casual viewer don't understand that less music, most of the time, is better at creating tension in what are supposed to be nerve-racking scenes. WIll still give it a try for sure, but my expectations are way low.

[@1dosstx]

If they just kept the camera in the cockpit (maybe a few shots of the landing gear, engines here and there) rather than cut away to the wide exterior shots of the B17, I believe the scene would be much more intense. They are trying too hard, imho.

[@willthorson4543]

Perfect example of nerds and geeks nit handling a show. The CGI was fine. Considering the aircraft don't exist in real life and tad bit of music never hurt anything. You people are always bitching about something.

[@1dosstx]

@@willthorson4543 Spielberg knows...he kept the camera in the boat during JAWS. Looks like Apple didn't like that approach here, but it's going to be fine. Can't wait to see the film.

[@EdwardThatch-ee7yx]

I’ve just watched the first episode and sat here on my comfortable sofa in complete silence, shock and disbelief. In the words of one of the greatest leaders of my island nation "Never was so much owed by so many to so few" prime minister Winston Churchill on 20 August 1940. I am so grateful for their sacrifice and for the peace that they have created. May their sacrifice NEVER be forgotten.

[@SurfVR]

As much as I cant wait for this being an aviation fanatic and huge fan of BoB, I am afraid I will be a bit dissapointed when my inevitable sqrutinizing of the flying scenes starts. I hope I can let it go as much as possible. This scene showed some improvement over the others in terms of pure flight dynamics, but the Hollywood glare and somewhat cheap CGI vibe is quite apparent. I really hope the story is well written, cause the cast seems perfect.

@johannesbauer4490 What is propaganda is your stupid uninformed post where you offered nothing of substance with any truth as to what is untrue, nor have you probably even heard of the 100th or read the book. Go join the Holocaust denier board. They are missing another troll like you as you sound like one of them. This series is based on the book with whom some of the REAL pilots who were in the 100th helped provide the source material!! That's not propaganda. Propaganda is the Taliban or Iranian regime when they open their mouths if you need a refresher. Now go crawl back into your parents' basement and find the next thread to hijack. You definitely have zero credibility here already. If you want to learn about REAL courage, check out the story of the Mighty Eighth as there is plenty of source material with historians to research about what they accomplished over the skies of Europe! Much love to the RAF also, in addition, who fought bravely as well.

So it's going to have cartoon animations for special effects. Nice. A big budget, though not spent on the airplanes, nor any realism, nor any technical advisors I see. Even the little details, such as he is steering the yoke like it's a car after touchdown. Those are aileron movements, you either throw it over one direction or the other after touchdown and keep it there, due to strong cross winds, but you don't keep turn it back and fourth after you touch down; you steer with your feet after touchdown. I don't think we are going to get another Band of Brothers. But that's okay. We can't expect brilliance like that of BofB to strike twice.

Everything of this looks like a complete deviaton from BoB and The Pacific, very disappointing. This seems like a sister production to Greyhound, same style of visuals and suspense music.
