Is this for the HBO series that has been rumored? I do hope they include B-24s in the film. It would be ashame if another film gives the impression that the B-17 was the only heavy bomber flying over Europe.

It's definitely not the Hanks/Spielberg film. It's a teaser shot to promote a competing project. That wreck is the worst! Clunk!

Agreed. The HBO project is called Master of the Air on facebook.

All I get is some gal mixing a drink?

I hope they don't make it hokey. There's been other films recently that made the airfields look like toy playsets. There's so many stories that could be told they really don't need the hollywood treatment if you know what I mean.

Here's some background on the film from the university where the author is a professor.

And here is an article stating that they have begun the writing of the script. So there is no way the film clip is from the movie.

The video looked ok to me, except for the B-17 riding on the back of the other one before they both crashed.

 

[Arturius]

but for me looks good, I hope watch soon...

Uh .... I saw the trailer I do not like it, looks like a video game for me, unrealistic details during breathing, vapor :huh: maybe I have high expectations Memphis Belle was a decent movie!

Thank for sharing!
All the best!

My personal favorite, Twelve O'Clock High. Very little flying footage but really tells the story of how radical the idea of daylight bombing was.

Wonder if The Mighty 8th would be too limiting of a Campaign? Anything that flew in the 8th Air Force, any time.

12 O'Clock High... fantastic film.
