Masters Of The Air - Flight Gear Worn By The USAAF
With the imminent release of Apple TV's Masters Of The Air, the story of the 100th Bombardment Group in World War 2, there will be a lot of flight gear shown on the big screen that will change throughout the series as the 100th BG progress through the war from 1943 to 1945!
In this episode of WW2 Wayfinder I take a look at a range of flight gear used by the B-17 Crews, when it was typically seen being worn by aircrew of the 8th USAAF and when we expect to see it in Masters Of The Air.
It's not an exhaustive list of equipment but it will give you a solid foundation prior to the release of the series so you know what to expect when Masters Of The Air is released!
Based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name, and scripted by John Orloff, “Masters of the Air” follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (the “Bloody Hundredth”) as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen, and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air. Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of the Third Reich, is at the heart of “Masters of the Air.” Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed. And some were lucky enough to make it home. Regardless of individual fate, a toll was exacted on them all.
The series features a stellar cast led by Academy Award nominee Austin Butler, Callum Turner, Anthony Boyle and Nate Mann, who are joined by Raff Law, Academy Award nominee Barry Keoghan, Josiah Cross, Branden Cook and Ncuti Gatwa.
