People are being far too critical of the CGI blah blah blah. You try doing CGI for dozens of planes being manoeuvred around the screen at the same time. And if you're focusing on the CGI, you're missing the point. This is about the MEN who flew those aircraft. This is their story, on a human level.
And it does a great job of portraying those men and what they went through. Read up about the actual lives of the main characters and you'll see that the casting is really good and they portray the men accurately.
This is a series that follows a timeline and they cannot keep characters in the show who died in real life at specific points in time. The whole point is that you don't get to know many of the characters well exactly because they were killed so quickly and it's telling you what it was like for those who survived, not even having a chance to get to know many who were killed very quickly.
In short, this is a GREAT SERIES and should not be judged in comparison to Band of Brothers, but as another facet of the same war.
BTW, I am British and the pathetic whining by some Brits in the reviews is pathetic. They portray the natural rivalry between national forces. If you fools want to pretend it didn't happen, you need to grow up!
