in this video, donald miller (the author of Masters of the Air) is interviewed by Andy Rowe. highlights from this video:
a documentary will be released the same time as MotA, which they are also currently working on
it took a year to write the showās ābibleā, or basically the document all the directors/filmmakers reference back to
there will be no composite characters- or characters created to show things that happened, but with different/combined people. everyone in the show is meant to portray an actual named person
hanks thought that BoB "might have been a little too romanticizedā, and he wanted more of the feel of the film Das Boot (something grimmer and more realistic)
a sizeable amount of MotA will focus on prisoners of war and life in stalag 3, as we have been seeing in set photos, as well as the great escape
there was a budget of 250 million or more
donald miller (the author of the video) talks a bit about behind the scenes information, but also about the real life stories of many airmen during ww2 (which are very interesting, so i encourage watching the video!)
