Storyline

On July 10, 1943, a unit from Oklahoma composed of Native Americans, Mexican Americans and Dust Bowl cowboys, most of whom couldn't drink together in the same bars back home, landed in Sicily and endured a brutal 500 day trek through Nazi-occupied Europe. This is the story of those men, a group of soldiers known as the Thunderbirds.

Trivia

The grips on Capt Sparks' pistol are known as "Sweetheart grips" and were common during the war. Soldiers made them from the Perspex windows of shot down aircraft specifically to put pictures of their sweethearts under as a good luck charm.

User Reviews

IT'S ABOUT THE STORY, PEOPLE

Anyone who commented about the filter being the reason they bailed 10-15 minutes into the first of a four episode series, is a simpleton, full-stop. It's like someone bailing on Team America, because they used puppets.

Does it take getting used to? Sure. It takes approximately 5-10 minutes, to do so-as you can see from those reviewers who aren't basic AF

The (true) story is great-and one I hadn't heard about, before. That's enough reason to watch.

So, in summary:

• great story
• interesting approach to the war-genre
• four episodes isn't a huge time investment
• don't listen to simpletons
