Description
In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we continue our Masters of the Air series with episodes 4 through 6. If you haven’t heard the first installment yet, listen here for episodes 1-3. George is back again to help us cover everything from Quinn and Bailey’s escape routes to Black Week, and welcome Rosie Rosenthal. We break down new character arcs, major missions, and quiet emotional … uh, breakdowns, including Bucky’s slow downward spiral, Crosby’s grief, and Rosie finding his rhythm (with some help from Artie Shaw).
Next? Check out episode 3 of our Masters of the Air Saga, or listen to Kai Alexander and Bailey Brook.

If this episode left you haunted by the numbers. How few men made it back, how many missions they had to fly. Then imagine what it was like for the people on the ground.
Sweatin’ Out the Mission: The Eighth Air Force Ground Support in World War Two by Malcolm Holland offers you a glance at it.
It’s a slim book, but it packs a punch. Holland turns the spotlight on the ground crews: the guys who patched the planes and counted them home. It’s the side of the air war we rarely get in prestige TV, and honestly, we’d love a whole series about them.
