Masters of the Air is without a doubt one of the most highly anticipated TV shows of the year. Produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, it serves as a companion piece to their other two war dramas Band of Brothers and The Pacific. This time however the focus is on the United States Army Air Force, following the story of the 100th Bomb Group who were nicknamed the 'Bloody Hundredth' due to the heavy losses they suffered during combat missions against the Nazis. And if that hasn't already got you excited about the series, the cast list certainly will as it stars - deep breath - Austin Butler, Ncuti Gatwa, Barry Keoghan, Callum Turner, and many more.
It's a project Turner can't wait to release to the world, as he revealed on the recent press tour for his new movie The Boys in the Boat. For that sports drama the actor trained for five months to be able to portray the real-life Olympic medal-winning rower Joe Rantz. And in order to play Major John Egan in Masters of the Air, a similar level of preparation was required.
