"Masters of the Air" Takes Flight in Pop Culture Sky
The recent surge in "Dad Entertainment" has seen a resurgence of plane-centric films and TV shows, with the success of "Top Gun: Maverick" and the arrival of Apple TV+'s "Masters of the Air." The latter, produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, follows the U.S. Air Force's 100th Bomb Group during World War II, showcasing the harrowing experiences of the airmen. While the series has been praised for its portrayal of aerial combat, it has also faced criticism for its lack of significant female characters. Despite this, the "plane-aissance" has provided a wealth of entertainment for fans of aviation-themed content, leaving dads and enthusiasts satisfied.
