Emblem of the Eighth Air Force in World War II

Reports of a third World War II based miniseries in the same vein as Band of Brothers and The Pacific developed by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg began in October 2012, focusing on United States Army Air Forces aircrews of the Mighty Eighth.[1] In January 2013, HBO confirmed it was developing the miniseries, based on Donald L. Miller's book Masters of the Air: America's Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany.[2]

In October 2019, it was reported that Apple had made a deal with Spielberg's and Hanks's respective production companies to stream the series exclusively on Apple TV+ instead of HBO.[3] HBO confirmed that it decided not to move forward with the series in a statement.[4] Deadline Hollywood reported the series contains ten episodes at a production cost of over $200 million, while The Hollywood Reporter said it contains nine episodes at a production cost of $250 million.[5][6] The website Footsteps Research reported the series would focus on the 100th Bombardment Group of the Eighth Air Force.[7]

In October 2020, Cary Joji Fukunaga was announced to be directing the first three episodes of the series.[8] In February 2021, Austin Butler and Callum Turner were cast to star in the series.[5] Anthony Boyle and Nate Mann joined the cast in March,[9][10] with Raff Law, James Murray and Tommy Jessop added in April.[11][12][13] Freddy Carter revealed his casting in a May interview,[14] while set photos revealed Barry Keoghan was also cast.[15] In June, Dee Rees was announced as directing episodes of the series.[16] In July, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck were also announced as directing episodes.[17]

In February 2021, it was reported that production in Britain had begun, at Dalton Barracks in Oxfordshire, England.[18] It has also been noted that Planning Permission has not yet been granted to the production, and is still awaiting a final decision.[19] Retrospective temporary 12 month planning permission has also been applied for at Newland Park, Chalfont St Peter, following the construction of a WWII barracks on the site.[20] Filming paused briefly in July due to positive COVID-19 tests.[21]
