Masters of the Air is a 9-part event produced for Apple TV Plus, brought to the screen by John Shiban (Breaking Bad), John Orloff (Band of Brothers), and executive producers Spielberg and Hanks. Based on the book by Donald L. Miller, called Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany, the series follows the heroic and life-changing actions of the pilots of the 100th Bomb Group (nicknamed the “Bloody Hundredth” for the heavy losses they suffered) and the Tuskegee Airmen that fought alongside them.
