- Sneak peek: The official opening credits of Masters of the Air, now streaming on Apple TV+ apple.co/_MastersOfTheAir
Based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name, and scripted by John Orloff, “Masters of the Air” follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (the “Bloody Hundredth”) as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen, and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air. Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of Hitler’s Third Reich, is at the heart of “Masters of the Air.” Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed. And some were lucky enough to make it home. Regardless of individual fate, a toll was exacted on them all.
The series features a stellar cast led by Academy Award nominee Austin Butler, Callum Turner, Anthony Boyle and Nate Mann, who are joined by Raff Law, Academy Award nominee Barry Keoghan, Josiah Cross, Branden Cook and Ncuti Gatwa.
Hailing from Apple Studios, "Masters of the Air" is executive produced by Steven Spielberg through Amblin Television, and Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman for Playtone. Amblin Television’s Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey co-executive produce alongside Playtone’s Steven Shareshian. In addition to writing, Orloff co-executive produces. Graham Yost also serves as co-executive producer. Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck, Cary Joji Fukunaga, Dee Rees and Tim Van Patten serve as directors.

#MastersOfTheAir #TitleSequence #AppleTV - Zábava
The nostalgia of Band of Brothers and The Pacific hit me like a brick. Guess every decade is destined to have their own great WW2 miniseries. The 2000s has Band of Brothers, the 2010s had The Pacific, and now the 2020s had Masters of the Air.
That's not really separate generations though - I know kids grow up fast these days, but...😂
Just in time for WWIII !!!
All of them produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg
Ya. I think this is only 1 generation. Maaaayyyyybe the very beginning of a second generating..... but definitely not three generations
@@dvbagnascoit depends how we define “generations”. I was in high school when I saw Band of Brothers. High school kids today who will be watching this at that age, I don’t consider the same generation as me. Not even close😅
One of the few intros I am not skipping. Same as with Pacific and BoB.
John Adams?
Yes. I agree the intro are great and goosebumps all over
I would add True Detective Season 1 to the list.
You said it bro
❤❤ Same
Please, PLEASE Apple, don’t stop making shows like this one. It’s so positively old-fashioned, so grand and sweeping and cinematic. Don’t let this be TVs final salute. Keep going.
Well they covered the Army (Band of Brothers, Marines (The Pacific) and Air force (Master of the Air). Now we need something like this for the Navy
Maybe some fighter groups too. The flying tigers in China. Or the red tails. I’ve also been hoping we can have a proper Battle of Britain remake
They made the clouds and sky’s look like heaven and hell at the same time, the visuals and colors used are so stunning in this series
Agreed
I will never skip the intro of all these episodes.
Im not skipping them either. I did the same for the other series too.
Same!
Me too bro
same!
Same here!!
My grandfather served as a Staff Sergeant Bombadier in the 702d Bombardment Squadron, flying in 25 missions. He passed at 88 15 years ago on January 12. He was a Master of the Air.
God Bless your grandfather. He was a hero no doubt. My grandfather was an SBD Dauntless tail gunner. Maybe they’re both having a drink together upstairs. Thank you for sharing.
Bless all those who fought bravely and gave their lives for a better future ✝️🙏🏻
Your gramps is a hero.
He indeed was, Sir. Salute to your grandfather.
You must be very proud of your grandfather.
the music... omg... chills and tears.
Hanks and Speilberg have truely out done themselves with this series.
😆 BS this is lame af so far
@@DannyPepprscan’t tell if you’re a troll or projecting your anger because you hate your life. Either way, I feel sorry for you.
danny peppers just got peppered by strays@@CrackheadYoda
@@DannyPepprs This intro has been perfectly crafted and does the job of getting you hyped and nostalgic, however, IMO the show underperforms compared to the previous ones.
Agreed @@edgarava1
I've heard hundreds of intros during my life but this is easily the best one. Brings tears to my eyes every time.
Agreed love it
I agree with you. This intro help me in Medicine University.
Same here
It's amazing, but I would rank The Pacific's intro just a bit higher.
Officially the intros to all three of these series just make me extremely thankful of what all the men, women, and children went through throughout this vast conflict. The world truly is forever in their debt.
And it's pretty glossed-over in the various mini-series. As bad as it was rendered in the series, it was far worse in actuality. It's hard to be thankful enough for what those men did.
@@Joe_J-MT_BoyIf you want something that really shows the brutality of the conflict. Go check out "Days of Honor". It's about the Polish Special Operators and the underground army in Warsaw. It even continues past the war and into the communist era. For context, Poland essentially lost WW2 and was forced under the iron curtain by the Soviets. The prewar government was "nullified" and anyone associated was hunted down and killed by the NKVD.
Truly the greatest generation.
Is the Pacific any good?
@@NoSurrender786 It's fenomenal! I still like it better than Masters of the Air not that Masters of the Air is bad.
This will be a difficult one for me to watch. My father was a B-17 Navigator in the 100th Bomb Group. He didn't talk much about his experiences, so I expect this series to fill in a lot of information for me.
Aww that hurts my heart. I hope he lived out his life in peace. My grandfather served in Vietnam and had a friend who told him so many stories of being a B-17 pilot in WW2. Told my grandfather one time that his crew were so lucky to be able to see their families and would never take the moments with them for granted.
It absolutely will. The series so far is absolutely phenomenal, but it doesn’t hide the horror of the air war and the great sacrifices our airmen made.
For me the series is interesting for similar reasons, my grandfathers (both of them) belonged to the crew of a He-177, one as a radio operator, the other as a gunner, they fought on the other side of the war but the missions were probably similar. They deserted from the Wehrmacht in Greece in 1944 and were also reluctant to talk about their experiences.
Maybe your want to read the book this series is based on then, as wel. the fighting scenes in the series are haunting for sure. must have been hellish out there.
Really cool.
Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Hacksaw Ridge, Greyhound, Dunkirk, and Masters of the Air truly do Justice to WWII. May we never forget.
All great, I would like to add:The Unknown Soldier and A Bridge Too Far.
And countless smaller budget theatre and made for tv films and shows. The Tuskegee Airmen (1995) and Atonement (2007) to name a few.
Thin Red Line...Flags of Our Fathers...
We must not forget, in order to prevent such tragedy happening again
Dunkirk 1958 yes! Dunkirk 2017 no!
This opening hit me hard, brought back so many memories of Band of Brothers and the Pacific. I wish my late father were still alive to watch this with me. I hope it's just as good as BoB and the Pacific were.
I think these video Graphic planes look real enough. In the Battle Of Britain movie the fake Spanish Bf-109s threw me off .
@Crashed131963 OK, I agree, but I think you may be replying to someone else. I didn't mention the planes at all. And yes, as much as I love the Battle of Britain movie, the weird Spanish 109s are a bit distracting. But hey, they could only use what was available to them back in the 60s haha.
Same here. I watched Band of Brothers and The Pacific with my Dad. And now I’ll have to watch this one alone.
Best opening sequence is SAS Rogue Heroes - there isn't one! Straight into the action/story with no awful sentimental music and images!
@@CzechImp Ok so you're real "edgy." Congrats on being different I guess. These intros are some of the best things on television, especially Band of Brothers and The Pacific.
The success of Apple TV is making quality a priority over quantity
A lot of hype to live up to. It looks excellent, but even The Pacific took a second watch to come around. Band of Brothers was just iconic and perfect right out of the gate. Just watched it again and it’s truly incredible
It's incredible. Different, but incredible. Ready for the wold to see what these men did over the skies of Europe. 🙏
@@BrendenPHill have you seen it or work on it?
I need to watch Band of Brothers again. Just remember crying my eyes out so many times. Watched it with my dad who was in the 101st during Vietnam. I've been looking forward to this show for so long.
Same here. Pa ific was a gut-wrencher for sure and very realistic but i never related to the characters like I did with the Easy Company crew.
I liked Pacific better .
The Army (Band of Brothers), the Marines (The Pacific), and now the Air Force (Masters of the Air). Hoping there'll be a miniseries about the Navy and the Coast Guard.
Army Air Force!
I'm hoping that the USS Johnston is featured in the navy version of the miniseries.
USS Enterprise
If there is ever a navy mini series, they definitely need to make it about the USS Enterprise, it's the most famous american ship of the war
Sadly I think that's the last mini serie from the project :/ But I hope we'll have more great WW2 mini series.
After watching the first two episodes, I find myself loving this title sequence! It has echoes of Band of Brothers and Pacific, but stands on it's own two feet. They've nailed the soundtrack once again!
Such an iconic style of intro! Can’t wait to finally see this after all those months of filming. Proud to have worked on it with so many talented people.
Really appreciate your hard work to contribute will you all be coming out with a Blu ray/ 4k release if so when so I can purchase it?Lol:)
May I ask what your involvement with the project was?
I am hoping that this series will show not just the undoubted heroism of these young men, but also the fear and suffering that they had to endure. I recently read that it was not unknown for crews to come back from missions and break down in tears when they got on the ground:. Such was the stress of what they did, day after day. Their vulnerability and humanity needs to recognized as much as their valor and sacrifice.
Some of the guys got to the base, put their bags in their hut and were sent out on a mission the same day. Some of those guys never came back from the mission and they’d have to go clean up their hut with their bags still unpacked….i can’t even imagine.
Just ask my Dad after his 37 missions.
One of my best friend’s Uncle had flown his mandatory number of missions (25?) and was waiting for orders home when one of his buddies got sick and couldn’t fly the supposed “milk run” that day. The uncle volunteered, but didn’t return. Mid-air with another B-17.
@@cmflydelta Thats so heartbreaking, those guys sacrificed it all
What plane was your dad on?
One of the best opening title themes for a show I’ve heard in a long time. Keeps the somber feel of the Pacific and Band of Brothers while also giving me James Horner vibes from Apollo 13’s score. I hope this guy gets to do even more big stuff!
He did the CW DC shows. Flash, Supergirl, Arrow, etc. If you liked that music, that's why.
He's always done big stuff. Lol
i felt the same! Defiantly feel Apollo 13
Finished up yesterday, can't wait until the 2030s to see more masterpieces like this. To be honest, these miniseries have been the highlights of the decades and I am not ashamed to say that
Hopefully sooner than the next decade. This show was great
Do you think that in the second decades will be more II 2 TV show?
Era of brave man who gave up their precious life so we could live free
0:54 best moment
Mine is the B17 Contrails over the Alps…
0:50 best
there goes Berlin...
My great-Uncle flew B-24s. First, from North Africa into Italy and southern Europe. Was shot down but escaped capture. Returned to the US, then was deployed to SE Asia to bomb the Japanese. Had two other B-24s shot to shreds from under him, but kept returning to fly missions. 69 missions, 3 Purple Hearts. Died peacefully a very old man in 1990 in his bed.
@SEscarlett: I have ZERO nostalgia for the America or for the world of the 1930s-1940s or for WWII. I think that there is far too much over simplisification and sugar of coating of those times and events in order to tell and to sell a feel good morality tale. I also think that most of the lessons learned from that conflict were the wrong ones and that humanity is still paying for that to this very day. That said, I am happy that your relative came out of the other side of that horror show apparently unscathed and that he lived a long and happy life.
Extraordinary in the real sense of that over-worked word.
I just wish a series/film about B24s could be made - it is always flying fortresess!
@@dpeasehead whatever anyone thinks of the us of 30's and 40's, most of the rest of the world was worse.
@@snuffeldjuret Worse in what way and for whom? Most black people lived in third world poverty in the US prior to the 1960s. How much time did you spend as a peonage laborer in the US during that time? How much do you actually know about the rest of the world then, or now? Or is your knowledge of it limited to the typical cheerleading and selective moral blindness?
The unbridled reverence towards these heroes is felt heavily in this intro and throughout the series. This was done so well.
I don’t understand why people didn’t like the Pacific. It captured the horror of the pacific theatre perfectly.
Agreed. The Pacific was very well done.
I think it was too gruesome for those viewers but I agree I really like the Pacific as well
Because it was too disjointed, some episodes were a drag, and the main characters aside from Eugene Sledge were uninteresting.
I really like Leckie, especially in episode 4, but from 5 onwards I think he loses a lot of the spotlight to Sledge (who I agree is the best character). I find Basilone in the series very uninteresting.@@redaug4212
I think it's because people wanted it to be Band of Brothers 2.0, but they're different shows. BoB is about the bond of soldiers and how they fought and died for each other. The Pacific is about the brutality of war and the destruction it causes. Both are excellent.
So appreciative of all that put so much into making this film to honor these men. My grandfather, George McKee, was a B-17 pilot for the 390th which was one of the three bomb groups (along with the 100th and 95th) that made up the 13th combat wing; consequently, he flew in a number of the missions detailed in Masters of the Air. When the book came out in 2007 he told me it was the most accurate description he had read of what they experienced. He made a career of the Air Force serving 36 years and rising to the rank of Lieutenant General (he started as a private and air mechanic in 1940). In 1973 he became commander of the 8th Air Force. For those interested in the history of these brave individuals the 8th Air Force Museum just outside of Savannah, GA is fantastic. The 390th Bomb Group also has a museum in Tucson, AZ.
I wonder if your grandfather knew my dad? I have very few photos of that time but it was such a small group of men. I agree it's really important to tell the story. With my dad and your grandfather did are a really important part of history
There’s also a memorial museum to the 390th at Parham airfield, near Framingham in East Anglia. I’ve visited several times, along with Thorpe Abbotts airfield (100th Bomb Group) and they’re so dedicated to keeping alive the memories and sacrifice of the men of the 8th Air Force. There are scores of memorials and sites across East Anglia: the 8th (and 9th) are not forgotten x
Composer: How much feels would you like in the opening sequence?
Producers: Yes.
I don't see myself missing this opening for a single episode. Best of the three, easily.
Nah, the pacific is easily the best. Also the video game soundtrack opening sequence for “Medal of Honor European assault” from the early 2000s sounds better than this lol
Nah BoB easily the best. This comes a close second though.
@@rickylovesyouagreed
Not even close this intro is good but it's not the level of BOB or the pacific
Who ever composed this needs an award right now. This was beautiful 🤩
Blake Neely. His name is in the credits.
It's Blake Neely who also did Band of Brother's and the pacific
Michael Kamen composed Band of Brothers- he died in 2003.
@@fighting_bonesHans Zimmer did the pacific theme.
Blake Neely who also did the excellent Greyhound!
This may be the most powerful intro in a series ever. Real people, real events, the score really does a great job of making you feel the magnitude of what these 18-26 year old kids went through.
This theme song hits me well. Finished the series today, and they did an excellent job!!
These guys and their buddies all over the world made it safe for us to sleep at night. Words cannot express. My grandfathers came back when many did not. One spent much of his life in his vegetable garden and his job and the other threw himself into work. One of them was a B-17 pilot in the Pacific who said nothing until one summer day when I was visiting we stayed up to watch a re-run of a favourite TV show. When the credits rolled Gramps sat up and said "I know that guy from the war. He was a damn fine pilot." The guy Gramps remembers was Gene Roddenberry. After that I could not get him to stop his stories, I took down everything and recorded as much as I could. It was not until my twenties when I was worried about something stupid that I realized I was older than my grandfather when he flew his first mission.
I was a teen when I first watched Band Of Brothers and fell in love with it, but Masters Of The Air somehow managed the impossible task of becoming my absolute favourite of this WWII trilogy. Since around episode 3 just watching this intro brought tears in a way that nor BOB or The Pacific could. The emotional connection to the characters and missions, the evocation of such a terrible but better time the likes of which my generation will never have the privilege to live was just too strong. MOTA is a true masterpiece and let's hope this doesn't end in a trilogy and given enough time and careful production a new WWII series arises from Playtone and Amblin. The world needs this stories and heroes be showcased with the respect and quality that only this companies can deliver.
When I watch BOB, TP, and MOTA, I think of all we owe to these young people and how they gave their lives for others.
What gets me are the kids waiting for the planes to arrive. They must be thinking....are our friends coming back? The nice ones that play with us and give us chocolate bars?
The music is so beautiful and moving. I signed up for APPLE TV+ yesterday. I’m anxious to see this series.
And I’m so excited Austin gets to star in this wonderful tribute to the young men that flew for freedom.
I signed for appleTV for this too. Remember and respect the Greatest generation for their sacrifice and Bravery that kept freedom alive for decades to come.
Yeah I got Apple TV for this as well
This score brings me to tears. Not only the sacrifice these men made, but the state of our country today. We will never see a generation like it.
The world they fought for is gone forever. What is left?
Amen
I’m glad someone else agrees. We keep saying “never forget their sacrifice” like drones when the truth is the West has already fallen. All we can do know is hope to revolt against our traitorous governments around the world and restore order.
Hands down my favorite opening theme track of all time.
Stranger Things is still the best opening theme but this one is really good.
One of the best openings to a TV show in the last ten years for me, still gives me goosebumps and a reason to be excited every Thursday/Friday
This opening sequence really gives me Band of Brothers vibes 🔥🔥 Can’t wait to see what Steven and Tom have been cooking up!
They are ''executive producers'' - they had nothing to do with it (which is probably why it is so bad!).
@@CzechImpExecutive producers in television means they are the showrunners, they are the full creative heads of the project.
No they are not. Definitely not!
The writers and producers go to them to report regularly on what they have done.
If Habks and Spielberg had any direct input on this then it would be a lot better than this rubbish. In fact, I'm surprised they want to have anything to do with it.@@thatperformer3879
This was so powerful it made me cry and no matter what there must be great respect for them, for how they protect the freedom of all ppl all over the world . God bless them all
That shot of the kids watching for the returning planes gets to me every single time.
Weeks after finishing this series I am still listening to this intro which just introduces the it so well with this music, it's crazy
Love and miss you SSG Robert Navarro of the 8th Army Air Corp station 109 Podington (325th B.S., 326th B.S., 327th B.S., & 407th B.S.) aka Great Grandpa Navarro, you flew high and mastered the air to fight for the worlds freedom from fascism, tyranny, and imperial rule. Although we are still fighting for peoples rights today (and not the same fight you fought) on American soil for those to live free from persecution of all types, the family still fights for those that cant fight for themselves. I hope I change the world for the better and leave it in a good way by only a fraction of what you did. Much love from your family in Cali, Mexico and the UK, We will always remember "Fames Favored Few"
I will watch it a few times. That said, for the folks complaining about the opening sequence: both "BoB" and "The Pacific" were highly stylized. Personally, I like the dream-like/memory haze feel that this opening conveys. Also, CGI is a must. The producers aren't going to have real combat scenes with B-17s and BF 109s over the skies of Europe. That is absurd. Finally, "The Pacific" was great, esp. if you have read EB Sledge's and/or Robert Leckie's memoirs.
Yeah, as long as the normal episodes aren't full of obviously tweaked colors and the like, it'll be fine.
And also... it is way more impressive on the television. Laptop or cell doesn't do it any justice.
If the CGI looks.....well too CGI which it seems to then I'm afraid it might mean that as good as the acting is MOTA might be landing with its wheels up.
@@jvleasureThat was done deliberately to give a sort of 1940's grainy washed out look like they used in SPR. Bit of a sod on your 4k HDR TV though.
Agreed. I watched "The Pacific" before and after reading both books.
The intro music is really good. Feels majestic and also a sense of loss.
The show's soudntrack has been incredible too. Some of the music you hear as the B-17s take off is just wonderful.
Soar + War Thunder is just so good. Still haven't tried playing a Fort while listening though, no friends to battle box with :(
One of the best intros i have ever seen.
FYI, just talked to a WWII vet who was a pilot for the 503rd bomb squadron. He said masters of the air was “excellent” and was exactly how the action appeared back in WWII. It didn’t have any unnecessary added Hollywood action
I’ve been waiting almost exactly 10 years for this to come to my screen. 😭 I can’t believe it’s finally happening
This opening theme could make me run through walls
Ok out of all 3 intros meaning BOB, the pacific, and this…… this is my fav. Omg this song gives me goosebumps and literally makes me tear up. And that’s saying A LOT cause the other intros im obsessed with
Yeah this is almost too good for the show imo
The grandeur and emotion makes the show too painful when you realize they were just statistics meant to halt Axis production, not men sent into hostile airspace with no one but themselves to save them.
Tears and goosebumps just from watching this opening sequence. This show is gonna be epic!
Nah, watching a show from Spielberg about one of the largest scale bombardment of non military targets seem extremely tone deaf. I love WW2 history, in particular aviation history, l watch band of brothers once a year, I've been really looking forward to this, but I'll be giving it a miss. Screw Hollywood and screw America.

My great uncle Karl was the lead navigator for the 395th Bomb Group of the 8th USAAF and flew some of the most perilous missions of the war, including second Schweinfurt - I hope they did a great job in honoring him and his brothers in arms. I have been looking forward to this series for years.
I was watching episode 3 and this theme tune played. Nobody was home so I thought I would blast it loud and oh boy, I was in a heap sobbing! Love this music and loving this series so much!
I wish my father's late friend, Kieth Newhouse, could have seen this series. He was pilot in command in B-24's out of England during raids on Willemshaven, Schweinfurt, and others..... and lived.
One of the few series where I don't skip the intro.
This Band of Brothers and Pacific should be required to be shown to all school students.
I will never skip this EPIC intro!! Well done ...
Thank you so much for this series, I watched it in one sitting. Eternal memory to all veterans of that war. My grandfather was a Soviet pilot, a navigator of a bomber flight in the USSR. Many thanks to the USA and England for their assistance with supplies and military operations. You saved many lives.
I never thought I’d see the day… this is awesome.
I did not think that Michael Kamen's opening theme for Band of Brothers could be surpassed but Blake Neely has all but done it. Every episode that I watched the theme just grabbed me stronger each time and now I can say it is at least equal if not better to Kamen's theme for BOB. Masterful job (Great series too -wish it had been 10 parts!)
Who else just watched episode 5 and is emotionally wrecked at hearing this music?
It's so wonderful this intro, i cannot skip it in every episode. The emotions that this intro evokes make me feel that brave men fought with honor and gave us a time of peace to live!! They are really heroes of the sky!! I'm not American, but I believe that every American who watches this intro gets goosebumps!!! Truly!! This is stunning!!
Now im waiting for the navy miniseries
Hopefully its USS Enterprise CV-6
This has become one of my favorite songs of all time!
Proud to be an American.
It's not a song
The Pacific one absolutely gave me goosebumps. BoB theme is amazing too though.
The Pacific opening was emotional masterpiece followed closely by BOB. This one although nice, doesn't grab me like the other two.
I think this intro fits the topic of the series, flying, and the music really captures the feeling flying @@kurtthecat3995
Agreed. It's 80% of the way there, but that last 20% is what makes something truly immortal@@kurtthecat3995
I wasn't expecting to get a bit emotional at this. Especially seeing the Tuskegee Airmen. I introduced my GF to The Pacific and Band of Brothers a few days ago so we're both ready for the 26th!
That's so awesome...I hope she enjoyed it.
I am looking forward to this as a former Force Pilot. I totally honor the Tuskegee airman as well, but it would be nice if Hollywood would acknowledge that not every WWII fighter pilot who fought and died heroically in WWII was a Tuskegee Airman.
@@Jeff-gu2zn My favorite part of your post is the "I'm not racist, BUT aren't there too many black pilots."
You were in the military and still too insecure to see a black person or two on TV without freaking out about it? "Woke" Hollywood and all that, right?
The Tuskegee Airmen shouldn't be in this. They didn't fly missions for the 110th BG.
@@Jeff-gu2zn that's what you took from the only 3 black dudes in this whole intro?
For those of us that watched Band of Brothers and The Pacific, and have been waiting for this show for what? 10 years? This is absolutely amazing. While I understand that some people may be a bit hesitant because of the CGI on this show as opposed to the previous two, I guarantee you it’s a lot easier to find hundreds of M1 rifles than it is to find hundreds of airworthy B-17s nowadays.
If Spielberg and Hanks still desire to do more WWII miniseries, I hope we get to see one either from the point of view of other allied nations, or about the 442nd infantry regiment.
You're so right about that. Next movie they should use a B-2 Bomber.
This whole intro is absolutely spectacular and very emotional. Thank you Blake Neely for an epic soundtrack
Makes me think of the millions that died in ww2...
When the choir enters at 1:29 I get so emotional 😢 What a beautiful piece of music!
Amazing opening title . This show looks awesome , I can't wait to watch this show 🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️ .
I’ve just watched the first episode and sat here on my comfortable sofa in complete silence, shock and disbelief. In the words of one of the greatest leaders of my island nation "Never was so much owed by so many to so few" prime minister Winston Churchill on 20 August 1940. I am so grateful for their sacrifice and for the peace that they have created. May their sacrifice NEVER be forgotten.
I too watched episode 1 this afternoon and all I can say is those men were a special breed. And thank God they were!
Exactly I’m 18 years old and these guys are an inspiration to me, if I can just become half the man these guys were ill be happy. 🙏🕊️
i was letting the show run in the background to see if it could hook me, a small gathering at the start, then the cut to the bomber scene and wounded guy, but then the title sequence started and that snapped my attention. After that I made popcorn and fully invested myself to watch the show.
Some shows deserve your full attention and others don’t. This one definitely does.
If there’s anything consistent with these WWII miniseries’ it’s that they all have some of the most beautiful intro sequences ever put to film. I have NEVER in these 20+ years have ever skipped the intro to any episode of Band of Brothers, the Pacific, or Masters of the Air. 20+ years of annual rewatch, and not once ever skipped.
My favorite series in a long time. Spielberg/Hanks did it again
I enjoyed watching this series so much. Can’t get the theme song out of my head either.
Blake is a master composer, his scoring is simply mind-blowing. Always knocking it out of the park 🔥
The trilogy themes are insane. The best. Thank you Zimmer, Neely, Spielberg, Hanks❤
This wasn't Zimmer though
No Zimmer this time and neither for BoB
Think he did theme only for pacific
You just brushed off Michael Kamen?
The intro hits different after episode 5. Instantly in my feelings.
Nobody has ever looked cooler than a WWII B-17 bomber pilot in his uniform, a leather jacket, a crush cap, and a leather jacket. It's impossible to look cooler than that. Damn, WWII, why did you have to be so photogenic?
This series is amazing. I haven't finished it yet, but I wish there'd be more shows like this.
Salute to the heroes!
Chills. Literal chills
Even you are busy you will skip some parts, but not this theme song. What a masterpiece to ears
Definitely one of the most beautiful openings I've ever seen. It's like a stand-alone clip.
I walked through 3 B-17's. The first time I did, I was amazed as to the thinness of the metal structure. I likened it to that of a Grumman canoe. No protection from bullets, FLAK or the cold. Best 17 walk-through was Kermit Week's in FL. After Hurricane Andrew made it unflyable, he set up the walkthrough with sound effects and mannequins.
That the B-17 was ever a "fortress" was nothing more than a myth, and probably a euphemism to get young men to fly over Germany in it.
If they do this as they did Band of Brothers & The Pacific, it's going to be fraking fantastic.
i think everyone is expecting this and i think tom and stephen know what we want
Hopefully no pink hairs or gender swapping on this one
Apple TV+...... @@EduFirenze
I doubt it will be as good. Those were made by HBO why a bigger budget and now Apple TV is in charge with less money to spend on it. I just hope it’s not a drama and a historical depiction like BOB and the pacific.
@@wode467 HBO dropped this series because they didn't have the cash, Apple came it and increased budget to 300 mill. Do your homework
The shot of Egan spreading his arms on the plane is so clean. 🔥
For 33 years, I've never skip these ( Band of Brothers, The Pacific and Masters of the Air) masterclass intros.
Majestic. I've been waiting for this. Cannot wait to experience this series. Good to hear a good bit of the main theme is as inspiring as BoB. If this series is 10% as good as BoB, it will be amazing.
I think these video Graphic planes look real enough. In the Battle Of Britain movie the fake Spanish Bf-109s threw me off .
Graphic planes can show the real sizes of large formations much better than real planes can .
Quite literally the best show of the year. I doubt anything will top it in my book.
one of the best, if not the best, intro pieces ever; especially when the strings hit at exactly 1 minute mark, epic...
Jesus... this could potentially be the best series yet. Cannot wait!
That intro gives me goosebumps each time I watch a episode! 🥲
Great intro and series - Some good performances in the this and what a cast - Mint 👍
This is great, but I dont think it beats The Pacific's emotional "ooomph!" That Hans Zimmer is a genius.
not Hans zimmer
@@MM-vq3mc the pacific’s music sequence was composed by Hans Zimmer, and Geoff Zanelli and Blake Neely.
I said the same thing. “Honor” by zimmer was out of this world.
Totally. I re-watched the show again recently... Probably the only show I didnt press the "Skip Intro" button on! @@ryancampbell5039
it's growing on me, but i agree it's not up to the same level, maybe i'll feel different if the series turns out good.
This opening sequence is a masterpiece! I enjoy it more than the ones in Band of Brothers and The Pacific, and that’s saying a lot
Read the book..Most do know the fact more 8th Air Force (mostly B-17's) crews were lost than all the KIA casualties in the Pacific. Over 2600 B-17's were shot down each with a 10 man crew. Many are buried at the American cemetery at Normandy. Hollowed ground for so many of our brothers in arms...a journey into the glorious past with this new film. For all those lost, we miss them all then and now. 05/11A
hallowed ground my friend. big difference.
This has become my favorite TV intro of all time, so beautiful and the music fits perfectly.
The way the soundtrack fits with the scenes is magnificent! Thankful for this masterpiece.
Omg at 1:51 the four P-51s and the Music. It fits perfectly
