The seven episodes closely follow a group of young individuals who formed the largest air fleet ever sent by the United States during World War II. As is typical in wartime contexts, only a few of them manage to return home. These individuals were not only sent directly into Hitler’s territory on bombing missions but also experienced life-and-death moments at thousands of feet in the air.



The unit was named the “Bloody Hundredth” due to the significant losses it suffered in combat missions against Nazi Germany. Five miles above the ground, only eleven men, inside a bomber known as the “Flying Fortress”, had to contend with waves of German fighters behind enemy lines.



<h2>When will Season 1 of Masters of the Air premiere?</h2>



It has been confirmed that the new series will have a total of nine episodes in its first season, which is currently the only planned season. The first episode will debut on the Apple TV+ platform on January 26, 2024, with subsequent releases on a weekly basis.

John Orloff‘s new creation, the renowned writer of Band of Brothers, is based on a true war story and follows eleven men inside a bomber known as the “Flying Fortress” as they battle swarms of German fighters while flying five miles above the ground and behind enemy lines.



Of course, to carry out a narrative with such production and intensity, a top-quality cast is required. Austin Butler is the protagonist of the plot, but he is accompanied by mega-stars such as Callum Turner in the role of Maj. John ‘Bucky’ Egan and Barry Keoghan as Lt. Curtis Biddick.
