“Masters of the Air” was an American war drama television miniseries produced by Apple TV+. It has just finished airing on Apple TV+ (and it’s fantastic if you’re into World War II dramas). The series was based on the book “Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany” by Donald L. Miller. The series focused on the air war over Europe during World War II and told the story of the American bomber boys who fought it. The series was highly anticipated and had been in the making for a long time. In this article, we take a look at the filming locations used for “Masters of the Air” on Apple TV+.

The series was produced by Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Gary Goetzman, who also produced the popular World War II-themed miniseries “Band of Brothers” and “The Pacific.” “Masters of the Air” was the third series in this trilogy.

The filming of “Masters of the Air” was a long and arduous process, with filming taking place in multiple locations. The series was filmed in England, Scotland, and the Czech Republic.

One of the primary filming locations for “Masters of the Air” was the former RAF Bovingdon airfield in Hertfordshire, England. The airfield was used extensively during World War II and was the home of the 8th Air Force, which played a crucial role in the bombing campaign against Nazi Germany. The airfield had been used as a filming location for many World War II-themed movies and television series, including “Band of Brothers.” The airfield was transformed into a set for “Masters of the Air,” complete with a replica of a B-17 bomber.

The show was set at Thorpe Abbotts in Lincolnshire. RAF Station Thorpe Abbotts was a Royal Air Force station located in Norfolk, England. It was built in 1942 and was home to the 100th Bombardment Group of the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. The airfield was used as a base for B-17 Flying Fortress bombers, which played a crucial role in the bombing campaign against Nazi Germany. The 100th Bombardment Group flew a total of 306 missions from Thorpe Abbotts, dropping over 19,000 tons of bombs on enemy targets. After the war, the airfield was returned to the RAF and was used for various purposes until it was closed in 1963. Today, the site is home to the 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum, which commemorates the history of the 100th Bombardment Group and the brave men who served there. The control tower has been restored, but the airfield is largely gone, so the show could not be filmed there.

Another important filming location for “Masters of the Air” was the RAF Hemswell airfield in Lincolnshire, England. The airfield was also used extensively during World War II and was home to the 5th Bomber Group. The airfield had been used as a filming location for many movies and television shows, including “The Dam Busters” and “Foyle’s War.” The airfield was transformed into a set for “Masters of the Air,” complete with a replica of a B-17 bomber.

The Scottish town of Greenock was also used as a filming location for “Masters of the Air.” The town was transformed into a set for the series, with many of the buildings and streets appearing as they did during World War II. The town had also been used as a filming location for many other movies and television shows, including “Outlander” and “World War Z.”

The Czech Republic was also used as a filming location for “Masters of the Air.” The cities of Prague and Plzen were used as stand-ins for various European cities during World War II. The Czech Republic had been a popular filming location for many movies and television shows due to its historical architecture and beautiful landscapes.
