Masters of the Air: Episode Discussion 1 & 2

For all your chatting needs, as the show comes out. I'll hopefully post one of these every Thursday.

Rules:
  1. Don't be a dick. Specifically (but not limited to):

    1. Not liking something is fine, and negative comments are fine. Please do not directly tell other participants why the thing they like is bad or that they are bad for liking it.

    2. Kink shaming will be deleted.

    3. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, antisemitism, misogyny, etc will be deleted.

  2. Discussing material from the books is fine, but if you're going to discuss something that happens in future episodes, or the fate of historical characters, please put it under a cut and title the comment Book spoilers! or something similar.

  3. Likewise, wanting to treat the show as a self-contained unit and not engage with the books/history is perfectly valid.

How to do an in-comment spoiler cut:

I was watching bits and pieces of Test Pilot (1938) since it got name checked in the show. And whatever's going on with Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy...

Please report back, since I have seen that one and all I remember about it is that it has very good aircraft and Paul Mantz did the stunts. I think it had a three-cornered emotional thing in it, which usually means it's actually about the guys.

Needs to be put on a sampler and mailed to John Orloff.

Thank you; I'm sorry.

That site does work for me. I'll check it out later (probably).

I hope you enjoy it if you do!

The derelict airfield thing is exactly now Twelve O'Clock High (1949) opened, come to think of it.

You're right! I'd forgotten that.
