I’m watching the 4th episode. Great soundtrack/score and bonus for telling the story of the resistance movement. It’s CGI heavy (as is the trend) but hopefully it introduces a new generation to the greatest generation.
PS I’ve got a special place for shows/books of this genre because Pop was a B24 gunner in the European theater.

Awesome pictures. Tell your dad thanks for being part of the Greatest Generation this country or any country will ever field.
They had no choice but to use CGI in this one. There aren't enough flying B17s to even do a mock up of a squadron.

Wow, not only was your Pop a bad ass, he could also type 18 wpm and shoot a 50 Cal. machine gun. Maybe not both at the same time, but that definitely takes multi tasking to a new level.
There is a reason he was part of The Greatest Generation.
