Just finished masters of the air last night and I know a ton of topics have already been done on these but who cares.
Just curious yalls order of these. It’s obvious BOB is number one but would you put the pacific or masters of the air at 2?
For me following the same group mostly in masters of the air and having a couple main guys helped. But the hand to hand combat aspect of the pacific was better.

Masters of the Air had it's moments
I thought the last episode was really good

Overall behind both BOB and The Pacific for me

Side question as well. I honestly can’t imagine what that generation of men went thru and I’m not from a military background at all. But what situation would you rather be in?
The episode in BOB of Bastogne is just awful to think about. But then the total opposite of weather in the pacific is just as bad.
Then being sent out day after day in a plane where you don’t have good odds of making it thru unscathed and if you do get hit you might be parachuting down into enemy territory isn’t great.
Overall I think personally I would have rather been in the pacific over Europe but they all sucked

Masters of the Air was good, so I mean no disrespect to it in my rankings, but it's:

BoB



The Pacific





















Masters of the Air

Band of Brothers was 10/10 on every episode

Masters of the Air and Pacific had some really good episodes but they didn't bat 1.000.

I will say that Pacific has grown on me over the last several years since it first aired... I assume Masters of the Air will also continue to grow on me.

We lost interest in The Pacific.
Masters of the Air was a big deal for us.
Band of Brothers is too high to use as a measurement against anything else.

Band of brothers was the GOAT

Pacific second even tho it was more brutal than BoB but I didn't read helmet for my pillow or with the old breed like I did Band of brothers so that may play a role.

Didn't read the masters of the air book either but godamn I didn't realize the attrition they went thru. I think it was well made and im glad they put it out there.
