Masters of the Air is a 2024 American war drama miniseries created by John Shiban and John Orloff for Apple TV+.[3] It is based on the 2007 book of the same name by Donald L. Miller and follows the actions of the 100th Bomb Group, a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bomber unit in the Eighth Air Force in eastern England during World War II.[4] The series serves as a companion to Band of Brothers (2001) and The Pacific (2010). It is the first series to be produced by Apple Studios in cooperation with Playtone and Amblin Television and stars Austin Butler, Callum Turner and Anthony Boyle as part of an ensemble cast. The series consists of nine episodes.

Principal photography began in England in 2021 but was delayed on several occasions due to strict government measures related to COVID-19.[4] Masters of the Air premiered on January 26, 2024 to generally positive reviews, and received three nominations at the 76th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, winning one.
