Masters of the Air Photos Preview the Austin Butler-Led Drama Series

Apple has released a series of Masters of the Air photos from the upcoming Apple TV+ series, which is executive produced by Band of Brothers team Gary Goetzman, Tom Hanks, and Steven Spielberg. The show is set to debut its first two episodes on the streaming platform on Friday, January 26, 2024, followed by one new episode every Friday through March 15, 2024.

“Masters of the Air is a salute to the brave men of the 8th Air Force, who, through their courage and brotherhood, helped defeat Nazi Germany in World War II,” stated Goetzman. “Tom and Steven have always wanted to visualize cinematically what our author Don Miller has called, this ‘singular event in the history of warfare.’ We’re thrilled that Apple TV+ has given us the opportunity to combine the efforts of so many talented people, on-screen and behind the camera, to tell this important story.”
