Masters Of The Air’s Austin Butler Focus Has To Be A Marketing Trick, Or It’ll Lose What Made Band Of Brothers Special

The trailer for Masters of the Air focuses heavily on Austin Butler’s Major Gale “Buck” Cleven, which hopefully indicates a smart marketing trick rather than the focus on a single character’s story, something that threatens what made Band of Brothers so popular. The Apple TV+ drama, created by John Shiban and John Orloff, follows the true story of the 100th Bomb Group, and serves as a companion to the 2001 drama Band of Brothers, which focused on the U.S. Army’s famous Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, and also highlights the sort of courage and camaraderie found in the unique solidarity forged by the bonds of wartime.
