Seems as though, "Masters of the Skies," isn't dead.

Years ago, when I first heard about this Spielberg/Hanks mini-series, I got pretty excited. An 8th Air Force series done by the same team that produced Brothers in Arms and The Pacific sounded like something I've been waiting for. Then for years, nothing. Much like the DCS F4U Corsair, I stopped checking on its development. Figured they felt it was too big a project, couldn't get funding, or no studio was interested.

But I just saw an article about the show. HBO decided to bow out, but it was picked up by Apple TV. It has a release date of January 2024. The article showed the entire cast and some photos of the actors standing by a B-17. So, they've obviously been busy filming with a release date only four months away. 

I'm very much looking forward to this. It will be the last project in the World War Two trilogy and if it's as realistic and historically accurate as the other two I'll be pinned to the screen. 

Could it mean that there is also hope for the Corsair? I can dream.

Oh cool! I just finished watching Band of Brothers and The Pacific with my wife and she really liked both of them. She'll be down for one about skies now
