“An unusual picture made just as a Soviet airman leaped from his aeroplane during the recent gigantic manoeuvres of the Red Army on the eve of the fifteenth anniversary of the revolution. As yet he has failed to pull his rip cord and should he forget to do that little thing, you may rest assured that you are going upon his last jump.

In the article "Training B-17 Flying Fortress Gunners for Masters of the Air" on The Armory Life, Capt. Dale Dye, USMC (Ret), discusses his role as Senior Military Advisor for the Apple TV+ miniseries "Masters of the Air." This miniseries, which aired in 2024, is part of a trilogy following the acclaimed "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific." The article emphasizes the thorough research conducted on the 8th Air Force and the 100th Heavy Bombardment Group, also known as "The Bloody Hundredth." Capt. Dye highlights the intensive and realistic training given to actors to accurately portray the experiences of B-17 air gunners during World War II, including handling .50-caliber machine guns, adapting to cramped aircraft conditions, and recognizing enemy aircraft. He underscores the importance of highlighting the often-overlooked roles of air gunners to ensure historical accuracy and honor their contributions to the war effort.

Gamer Logic: Why walk when I can…

Travelling in games should be fun. Sometimes, it's so fun that you never want to walk anymore. [Published Apr 2014] #BlogPost #gaming #writing #justcause #gta #journey
