This is the episode where I finally drew the line and decided the series was not for me.
They really didn't do themselves any favours by pegging this to the Band of Brothers series, which in my opinion was the best WW2 series to be made.
There is a significant lack of character depth. There's no attachment or sentiment for any of the characters portrayed...and after 7 episodes, I still couldn't name more than a few. The production quality is poor in some areas, especially with the excessive use of CGI. For example, in this episode, there seemed to be hundreds of fighter planes flying amongst each other, navigating through bomber formations and was ridiculously in accurate.
I'd recommend that people watch Memphis Belle instead. Considering it was a film made in 1990, it was far more immersive, realistic and had a brilliant storyline.
