Masters of the Air (2024)
Piglet 3 points 1 year ago.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve wondered where the planes came from that we see in this WWII series. This is what I found just in case you were wondering the same thing…..Fewer than a handful of the roughly 12,000 B-17s produced during WWII remain airworthy today, none of which appear on Masters of the Air, so re-creating an armada of four-engine bombers required some creativity, along with CGI technology. Two replica B-17s were built from scratch for the production.

There’s a WW2 aviation museum in Colorado Springs that restores WW2-era planes. They do tours and you can see some of the planes their WIPs.
