Incredible 'Masters Of The Air' Video Explains Why Series Feels So Real

The people responsible for "Masters of the Air" went to great lengths to make the show feel incredibly real.

The hit WWII series about American bomber crews in Europe from Apple TV+ has taken the entertainment world by storm, and has garnered incredible reactions through the first two episodes. Episode three dropped Friday, and will almost certainly draw the same kind of positive buzz.

One of the best parts about the series with Austin Butler is the fact the scenes in the planes feel very real. While nothing compares to actually being in a plane at war, the viewer can feel the harrowing stakes as machine gun rounds and flak hammer the B-17 bombers.

"Masters of the Air" feels very realistic.

A new video from Apple TV+ reveals just how the production was able to replicate the chaos and carnage of being in a bomber.

It boiled down to building some unbelievably realistic B-17s and creating a system where the crews could feel simulated combat.

Everyone should be watching the WWII series.

There's absolutely no excuse to not watch "Masters of the Air," especially if you also loved "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific."

It's unbelievably raw, violent, dark, gritty and unapologetically pro-America. That's about as rare as a unicorn sighting in our current era and culture.

Millions of great men rushed to the aid of Europe and the Pacific in WWII to free complete strangers. Many paid with their lives.

Being in a bomber crew was arguably the toughest job in the entire war. While the B-17 packed a serious punch, the planes could easily be torn up by German flak and enemy fighters.

Yet, the bomber crews flew into German held territory time and time again to rain death from above on the Nazis.

Now, their story is finally being told with an awesome TV series. As I've said before, I'm biased because I had a family member who earned two Distinguished Flying Crosses as a bomber pilot in WWII in Europe. He hammered the Germans, and while "Masters of the Air" is about a different unit, it's still a similar experience.
