Movie- Masters of the Air

After watching Band of Brothers, I was keen to check out Masters of the Air. It's based on the book by the same name- Masters of the Air. It's a story of 100th Bomb group who fly boeings, the heavy big birds in the war. Starring, John Buck Egan and Bucky Cleven, the 9 episode series narrates the tales of several heroes of the war. Striking visual effects and oblivious background score, the series is well made with a lot of suspense and drama. I loved watching the friendship bond between buck and bucky and how they survived as Prisoner of War. Also, a few stories-Crosby, Rosie, Sandra, Bubbles stayed with me. I'm amused by the way they name their flights, friends developing a sense of belonging. Having visited a bit of germany in the past month, I was not keen to visit the concentration camps in this journey as I knew, it'd take a toll on you. Watching the series and witnessing the suffering of many, I'm perplexed by the rules and the game of war. Who decides the rules of the war and how the conflicts are resolved through war field at times? Loved watching it. Would be watching again as I did with Band of Brothers.
