One of the top scoring USAAF aces of WWII was George Preddy, seen here in the cockpit of a P-51B posing with his mates from the 487th FS in the spring of 1944. Preddy was accidently shot down and killed by American ack-ack gunners on Christmas Day 1944.

"Along with the rest of the squad, Buck and Bucky fly dozens of missions to destroy Germany's munitions factories and stockpiles of weapons. As the squad heads into the most dangerous areas, the death toll is extremely high. In those scenes of spectacular action, as German fighters shoot at US planes, some crash and burst into flames. Others are so damaged when the wings catch fire that the crew has to parachute into different dangerous situations behind enemy lines. That immersive, in-air action is the most ambitious and effective aspect of the series."

Apple TV+'s World War Two series, created by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks and starring Austin Butler, is "clunky" in places but reckons with the moral and emotional cost of war.
