    1. Its a sin that this cost 250 million to make, I've seen better CGI on a History Channel documentary. The intro makes it appear that Barry Keoghan is staring in the show when he is little more than an NPC background character who just happens to have an oscar nomination and a successful movie career then the stars of the show

    2. I’m not gonna say the series is horrible. But ME-109s moving at the speed of sound just looks phenomenally ridiculous. We’re taking ME-109s here and not F-16s. And there were moments when B-17s were basically moving against the law of physics and aerodynamics. Like that sudden pull up in Greenland. Combat flight simulators have been doing much better since the 1990s. Why can’t a motion picture CGI do just as well. Seems like this is going to be a redo of Red Tails and the Red Baron.

    3. The series has promise. Callum Turner in particular is shining as John Egan. I don't know a lot about CGI, so I'm not really looking at it, just as I'm no aircraft historian so I'm not counting rivets. The yardstick for modern 8th Army films is Memphis Belle, which was very good with a similarly strong ensemble cast but shows its age after 34 years.

    4. One thing about the 90s film Memphis Belle I hated was how open they made the inside of the plane look. But anyone who had ever been to Memphis and seen the Belle knew that was not true. These planes were packed full with little room to squeeze through. This series gets it right.

    5. What, did he forget what basic direction England was in? I think your crew has bigger problems when fighters are running on you 2 seconds before you demand an exact heading from your navigator who's dealing with wounded crewmembers and strafing fighters. I mean just point it in the general direction and we'll figure it out when the more immediate pressing needs have been addressed.

    6. In real life, yelling at a guy has no effect on whether they survive a gunshot wound or not. They are are not dying from a lack of toughness or a bad attitude. They are dying because their blood is falling out or their vital organs are too damaged to function. I don't know why there always has to be a scene where the wounded guy and some other guy argue about whether now would be an appropriate time to just die.

    7. On the way back from the aborted raid, Cleven says ''…we’ll be back at base right after we dump these bombs in the Channel’’.
      Well, that's a hell of a diversion from Bremen!
      It is clearly the North Sea they are flying over to get back to East Anglia from there.
