The Bloody Hundredth And The Mission To Munster: October 10th 1943
The Bloody Hundredth And The Mission To Munster: October 10th 1943
The 100th Bomb Group (BG) would strike Munster on the 10th October 1943. The raid came two days after Major Gale ’Buck’ Cleven was lost on the Bremen mission on the 8th October. Major John ’Bucky’ Egan, the Squadron Commander of the 418th Bomb Squadron (BS), would fly the mission to avenge his friend, the Luftwaffe however, had other ideas.
On the 10th October 1943, Mission 114 as it was known by the USAAF, the 100th BG would truly earn the title, The Bloody Hundredth, when all but one of their B-17’s was shot down.
The 100th BG on the mission to Munster was decimated. All but one aircraft returned, piloted by Lt Rosie Rosenthal, a replacement pilot for the losses the 100th BG incurred on the Schweinfurt Raid on the 17th August 1943.
Based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name, and scripted by John Orloff, “Masters of the Air” follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (the “Bloody Hundredth”) as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen, and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air. Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of the Third Reich, is at the heart of “Masters of the Air.” Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed. And some were lucky enough to make it home. Regardless of individual fate, a toll was exacted on them all.
The series features a stellar cast led by Academy Award nominee Austin Butler, Callum Turner, Anthony Boyle and Nate Mann, who are joined by Raff Law, Academy Award nominee Barry Keoghan, Josiah Cross, Branden Cook and Ncuti Gatwa.
