Event Details

In conjunction with the release of the highly-anticipated Apple TV+ series, Masters of the Air, historian and host of the Veterans Breakfast Club’s streaming program Greatest Generation Live, Glenn Flickinger tells the harrowing story of the WWII Air War in Europe. The Allies became “Masters of the Air” only after many hard lessons and changes in leadership and strategy. Glenn will talk about the 8th Air Force bombers, as well as fighters, tactical ground support, and the oft-forgotten 15th Air Force based in Italy. The turnaround the US Army Air Force achieved by D-Day stunned the enemy and helped win the war in Europe.
