Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHarry Crosby really did stay up for 75 hours in the run up to D-Day. He was ordered to rest the night before the operation, and awoke 24 hours later.
- GoofsWhile it is true that the actual Harry Crosby slept through the D-Day invasion, in reality he only slept for a full single day, not the three the episode depicted. Also, he did not collapse in the main operations room as was also depicted. Instead, he drove back to his barracks in his jeep, and on the way almost hit a tree due to his extreme fatigue.

Lt. Alexander Jefferson: Back on that first day, all the guys looked to you. You had the final say, why didn't you gripe about us bunking in 8?
Maj. Gale 'Buck' Cleven: Well, let's just say, I at least knew you weren't spies.
Lt. Alexander Jefferson: Ain't that a bitch.
Featured review
PART 8
Masters of the Air, a war drama, has released seven of its nine episodes on Apple TV+, focusing on the struggles faced by the 100th Bomb Group. The show has delved into the challenges faced by the group, including casualties, prisoners of war, and the pressure of flying into imminent danger. The cast, including Austin Butler, Callum Turner, and Barry Keoghan, is one of the biggest advantages of the project. Butler, who is known for his role as Elvis Presley in 2022's Elvis, is one of the lead characters. Callum Turner and Barry Keoghan have also had recent success, contributing to the show's success. However, a popular actor who has not yet appeared in the series is highly anticipated for his upcoming cameo. Doctor Who's Ncuti Gatwa is set to make a cameo appearance in Masters of the Air episode 8, which is set to offer a glimpse into a World War II Air Forces squadron, the Tuskegee Airmen. Gatwa is one of the last actors to make a cameo in the war drama. The episode's thumbnail features Gatwa, suggesting that the 100th and the Tuskegee Airmen may come together during D-Day. Gatwa will portray the real-life Tuskegee Airman, Second Lieutenant Robert Daniels, who served as a Second Lieutenant in the U. S. Army Air Forces and was part of the all-Black squadron, the Tuskegee Airmen. Daniels' fate during World War II was not uncommon, as he was shot down during a flight over Marseilles, France, and became a prisoner of war. He remained in German custody until May 1945, similar to Major John Egan of the 100th. Daniels earned a Prisoner of War medal for his actions during the war. After the war, he worked as an air traffic controller and died in 1987. Ncuti Gatwa, a renowned performer, is set to return in Masters of the Air episode 8. The role of Second Lieutenant Robert Daniels is a departure from his previous roles, which have been filled with light and magic. Despite this, Gatwa is expected to bring light and fun to the role while still doing justice to the real man. This episode will be an exciting and special installment of the series, introducing audiences to the Tuskegee Airmen and Ncuti Gatwa's character, akin to the fifteenth Doctor in Doctor Who. The inclusion of Gatwa in the series is expected to be a highlight and a strong lead-up to the final episode.
