Masters of the Air (TV-reeks)

Masters of the Air (Afrikaans: Meesters van die Lug) is 'n 2024 Amerikaanse oorlogsdrama-minireeks geskep deur John Shiban en John Orloff vir Apple TV+^[1] en is gebaseer op die 2007 boek deur Donald L. Miller met dieselfde naam. Dit handel oor die 100th Bomb Group, 'n swaar bomwerper-eenheid in die Amerikaanse Lugmag, toegerus met Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomwerpers, wat in die ooste van Engeland tydens die Tweede Wêreldoorlog opereer.^[2] Gevaarlike missies word uitgevoer om teikens binne Duits-besette Europa te vernietig. Die intensiteit van oorlog word uitgebeeld, sowel as die gevare wat die vlieëniers in die gesig staar, en die vriendskappe wat ontwikkel.

Die reeks bestaan uit nege episodes en gaan saam met die reekse Band of Brothers (2001) en The Pacific (2010). Dit is die eerste reeks wat deur Apple Studios in samewerking met Playtone en Amblin Television vervaardig word. Die sterre Austin Butler, Callum Turner en Anthony Boyle is deel van 'n ensemble-rolverdeling.

Die primêre verfilming het in 2021 in Engeland begin, maar is by verskeie geleenthede vertraag weens die Covid-19-pandemie.^[2] Masters of the Air het op 26 Januarie 2024 begin. Die reeks het 'n positiewe ontvangs gekry.
