The cast, as a result, had to not only work within the historical framework of the Bloody 100th\u2019s actions, but also needed to step into the shoes of the larger-than-life pilots and crew members who took to the skies in B-17 bombers \u2014 oftentimes without fighter escorts \u2014 on some of the most hazardous missions the U.S. military has ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lA-1JCRguZ0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen title=\"Masters of the Air \u2014 Official Trailer | Apple TV+\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One such figure was that of 1st Lt. Harry Crosby, a navigator who began as an airsick and chronically nervous crew member before rising to the rank of major and completing a <a href=\"https:\/\/100thbg.com\/harry-h-crosby\/\" target=\"_blank\">full 22 months<\/a> deployed with the 100th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI just fell in love with Harry Crosby,\u201d actor Anthony Boyle told Military Times. \u201cI thought he was the most incredible, unique, bizarre human being that I\u2019ve ever seen on screen. I just thought, \u2018God, I\u2019d love the play him. I would just love to spend a year with this person.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crosby, who after the war went on to become a prolific writer and the eventual director of the Harvard University Writing Center, serves as the loose narrator throughout the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prepare for the role, Boyle watched available footage of Crosby, who passed away in 2010, and was able to speak to his surviving family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe last few jobs I\u2019ve done have been real people,\u201d Boyle said. \u201cIt\u2019s interesting when there\u2019s a limited amount about them. When I played Crosby, there was a book, some chatter about him and a video that I could go off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the show, Crosby develops a close bond with highly decorated pilot Maj. Robert \u201cRosie\u201d Rosenthal, played by Nate Mann. The duo\u2019s sharing of heartwarming support during some of the darkest moments in the 100th\u2019s history is part and parcel for all three of the Spielberg-Hanks WWII series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bond that truly carries the show, however, is one between Maj. Gale \u201cBuck\u201d Cleven and Maj. John \u201cBucky\u201d Egan, played by Austin Butler and Callum Turner, respectively. The duo\u2019s on-screen chemistry is electric, with Butler\u2019s portrayal of the buttoned-up Cleven often tempering the hot-headed, somewhat reckless Egan so perfectly depicted by Turner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe had two weeks of boot camp that started us off that really built camaraderie with about 120 of us,\u201d Butler told Military Times. \u201cWe\u2019ve learned a lot about each other through that process, going through the physical aspects of that, and also being in the classroom together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cleven and Egan, who were roommates in flight school, were two of the 100th\u2019s most experienced pilots. Both were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/history\/the-real-history-behind-masters-of-the-air-and-the-100th-bomb-group-180983629\/\" target=\"_blank\">shot down during separate missions in October 1943<\/a>, however, and ultimately spent the rest of the conflict together as prisoners of war at the German POW camp Stalag Luft III.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was easy with Callum, because he\u2019s one of the greatest guys I\u2019ve ever met,\u201d Butler added. \u201cWe became friends really quickly, and that helped with Cleven and Egan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The POW experience for Cleven and Egan, which was tensely portrayed on screen, would further solidify their lifelong friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Egan stayed in and eventually served in the newly-formed U.S. Air Force, deploying later in the Korean War. Egan sadly died from a heart attack in 1961. He was just 45. Cleven also remained with the Air Force, serving in Korea and Vietnam before retiring as a colonel in 1955. He died in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking with Military Times, show producer Gary Goetzman noted the importance of bringing the unbreakable bonds of World War II to the screen eight decades after they were forged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou have a story, and you have these great people you\u2019re representing, and you try to give them great representation by your casting, by the settings, by the words, and you try to honor them \u2014 [that] is what we really tried to do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Goetzman, this particular portion of the Spielberg-Hanks WWII trilogy was all heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a big story,\u201d Goetzman said. \u201cThese are the guys who tenderized the mainland in Europe so our troops could land. We didn\u2019t know what we were doing; we were losing the war. We didn\u2019t get over there until 1943, which is quite astounding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>\u201cMasters of the Air\u201d premieres Jan. 26 on Apple
