Masters of the Air episodes one and two - A quick recap

Masters of the Air is the heroic narrative of the US Air Force's 100th Bomb Squad during World War II. To combat Nazi Germany, the battalion took off from the United States and arrived in Britain in the spring of 1943.

Along with a few other crew members, the plot revolves around two of the unit's leaders, Majors Gale Cleven and John Egan. The 100th squad establishes itself at the Royal Air Base Thorpe Abbot, from where they command all of their combat missions.

In the first episode, the Americans attacked the Germans' U-boat pens in the Weser River, and the squad encountered immense German resistance. Commanding Officer Huglin canceled the mission due to dense cloud cover and low visibility.

Without releasing a bomb, the entire unit had to make it back home. After encountering intense German artillery near the base of a Polish hilltop, the unit was outclassed by the more capable German fighter jets.

In the process, three planes suffered severe damage. Before the mission, Egan (Callum Turner), who had been promoted to Group Air Executive—told the pilot how frustrated he was not able to participate in the mission.

After their next mission in Trondheim, Norway, proved to be successful, the team was even more happy after the second episode. They completed their mission of demolishing German submarine pens. When it came to helping the lads return home, the story's narrator, Harry Crossby, proved to be the man of the moment thanks to his quick thinking.
