When the one B17 pancaked on top of the other one it looked incredibly fake. |

Yep – the plane on top acted like it had no weight and the one below acted like nothing happened for waaaayyy too long. Poor CG work there… |

Say what we want….I got a real feeling of how much being in a bomber on one of those mission had to be a really awful experience….. Thank you to everyone who served and I can never pay the debt to those who gave all…. |

Um, we'll have to see. Just based on that trailer, I still think I prefer "Memphis Belle."
But I'll probably go see it as my father was a top turret gunner and flight engineer on an 8th Air Force B-17 from 1944 through the end of the war.

Hmmm, according it this: link it will be an HBO mini-series by Hanks and Spielberg to accompany "Band of Brothers" and "Pacific." It has evidently been in development and production for a long time. Jim |

My understanding is that this clip was an early proof of concept reel (hence 2013), so I imagine the CG planes were not intended to be the finished item. Though I am less sure of that now I've seen that Midway trailer. |

Will this mini-series ever see the light of day? |

Supposed to be later this year. |
