Now, she was cute. Probably the best looking fraulein I've seen here yet.

Thank you for that reasonable reply. You're exactly right. Some people think they should stick to the straight facts, without any embellishment. That's simply unrealistic. MOTA is NOT a documentary. It's a drama made for mass consumption. Admittedly, I don't get the Red Tails' inclusion...

And I'm truly ungrateful at your terse, condescending response. You just don't get get what this series is about or the way programs of this type are created. You should be honored. You're the first wiseguy I'll put on my ignore list here. I suggest you do the same.

I wish some of you would stop belly aching about historical accuracy. This is a Hollywood production, not a documentary. Of course, they are going to take some liberties with the historical facts. It's for mass television consumption. It's entertainment. That's the way it works. The average...

I see Crosby caved in to the charms of his English gal pal. I can't blame him; she's attractive, intriguing and provocative, and she was there. We'll see the Tuskegee guys next episode. Of course, they flew P-51Bs didn't they? They're shown in D models.

No offense taken.

My knickers aren't in a bunch. Just asking a simple question.

Don't! You're going to see the Tuskegee Red Tails soon, but I'll bet Blakeslee and Zemke are ignored. Did the Tuskegee flyers ever escort 8th AAf Bombers? Seems unlikely, but you never know.

Hollywood always adds their own spin on all these stories. It's be be expected, and it's always been that way. It's made for entertainment and for mass consumption, so there will be fictional elements, or things that are not exactly like the historical facts. If the producers can capture the...

One thing thing I find so interesting and annoying is the rude and dismissive manner in which the British military treated the Americans. It is very disturbing. You'll also notice that the British women did not treat them the same way, in fact, they were very much attracted to the American...

This episode followed the stories of the three characters, and that was the main point; Egan's adventures, Crosby's temptation, and Rosenthal's discomfort at being sent on leave when there was so much yet to do. I found Crosby's British gal pal very interesting. She was an extremely...

You Need Apple TV, unless you can get it free somehow, by tapping into a neighbor or friend. I got it just for this series, but I may keep it after it's over.

I just watched episode three and was cringing at the loss of life, although I expected it. I won't spoil anything for those who haven't seen it, but the Regensburg/Schweinfurt mission was the centerpiece. I'm looking forward to the rest. Some are picking it apart piece by piece. It's Hollywood...

Unless I'm mistaken, the Red Tails didn't escort 8th AAF bombers at any time.

I watched it. Every WWII aircraft had its drawbacks. I had to hold myself back from calling the guy who made the video a nasty name publicly.
