It's not as dark as 'The Pacific' which I appreciate, but the main characters are a) behind oxygen masks much of the time, and b) are dying off at a massive rate
Which was true to life, apparently. 'We lost 8 planes, well that's 80 guys not showing up for supper'
Like that they are making an effort to show more than planes and aircrew though. The efforts of the ground crews, the resistance movements, flak teams, displaced people etc
Wars are always bigger than just the guys on the pointy end
