The duo will reportedly tap Donald L. Miller's Masters of the Air as their source material, with the miniseries currently not titled. Miller's book is a narrative non-fiction work which tells the story of American bombers in their air campaign against Nazi Germany, focusing on the "Mighty Eighth" Air Force. There's no ETA on the miniseries, but we should expect the production budget to be absolutely huge. Band of Brothers had a mammoth production budget of $125 and The Pacific blew its budget out to $200 million. So we should expect some big things from the third miniseries and I for one can't wait for it. eidolonFIRE, Hemps, DEEJAYKEG and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the mean time for those who like to read. I would highly recommend a book called "A Higher Call" It is about a a German WWII fighter pilot and a American Bomber pilot. Here is the short of it. An American bomber plane was severely damaged on a run and was left for dead when a lone German fighter plane showed up and decided not to shoot them down and saluted them as he peeled off. This is a true story and I for one am enjoying this book tremendously. Pick it up if you get a chance. Hemps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed! Can't say how many times i've watched BOB couldn't really get into the Pacific though watched only part of the first one. I suggest you watch all of "The Pacific" m8 yes i agree Band of Brothers had a better feel to it but once you got into a few episodes of the Pacific it was really bloodthirsty and sometimes hard to watch because of it, some of the later Battle scenes really showed the depths people will go to in war. I think your army who fought the Japs was the same as the British army in that they were almost forgotten, the main focus was on beating Germany, our army was always given less reinforcements 2nd class equipment and weapons etc, the job they all did in taking on a very nasty and very competent enemy in terrible conditions was second to none.
