  In our latest episode of Front to the Films, we had the honor of hosting John Slemp, a distinguished photographer, author, and veteran, whose work shines a light on the stories of World War II through an unexpected yet deeply meaningful lens. His book, Bomber Boys: WWII Flight Jacket Art, is a visual masterpiece that celebrates the airmen of World War II by showcasing the artistry and stories behind their iconic flight jackets. Through this engaging conversation with our host, Colonel Tom Rendall (USA, Ret.), John takes us behind the scenes of his groundbreaking project, sharing his passion for history, the collaborative journey with world-class museums, and the inspiration he draws from his personal connection to the Greatest Generation. Key Takeaways from the Episode The Creation of Bomber Boys: WWII Flight Jacket Art John shared the motivation behind his book, which started with a desire to honor the men and women of World War II in a way that would resonate with younger generations. By focusing on flight jacket art, he uncovered a unique way to tell their stories—through symbols of identity, camaraderie, and bravery. Collaborating with Prestigious Institutions To bring his vision to life, John worked with renowned institutions, including the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, the 390th Memorial Museum, and the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. These partnerships provided access to rare artifacts and allowed John to capture the authenticity and emotional depth of these historical treasures. The Stories Behind the Art Each jacket featured in the book tells a story—of missions flown, comrades lost, and the enduring spirit of those who served. John revealed some of the most compelling stories he uncovered during his research, offering listeners a glimpse into the personal lives of the airmen and their families. Education and Inspiration for Future Generations John's work is about preserving history through his exceptional photography—but it's also about using it to inspire and educate. Bomber Boys: WWII Flight Jacket Art serves as a powerful teaching tool for schools and museums, connecting young people to the values and sacrifices of the Greatest Generation. Looking to the Future During the podcast, John hinted at exciting future projects, including a potential documentary based on the extensive research and stories gathered for the book. His commitment to ensuring these stories are never forgotten continues to drive his work. Why This Episode Matters John Slemp's work center's around the importance of preserving the personal stories of World War II. By focusing on something as unique as flight jacket art, he brings history to life in a way that is both accessible and deeply moving.

I felt that I was drawn more to the end of the pipeline, more to the beginning of the pipeline, so I was more drawn into lighting and compositing." Virtual production was the most logical choice for Masters of the Air due to logistical, budgetary and creative reasons. Virtual production is still in its infancy with lots of room for technological development. Extraction of foreground elements from LED screens is an important area of research. Virtual production fosters real-time collaboration and creativity compared to traditional segmented workflows. However, on-set experience and mentorship is still crucial. Actors appreciate virtual production as it helps their performances by providing interactive environments rather than pure green screen.   Xavier Bernasconi Bio Xavier Bernasconi is a VFX Supervisor at DNEG. Originally from Italy, he now lives in Canada. His recent projects include Masters of the Air, Mad Max Furiosa and Godzilla x Kong.

Anthony Boyle has taken over Apple TV+. The Irish star, previously best known for roles in The "The Plot Against America," "Tolkien," and "Tetris," stars in two Emmy-contending limited series for the streamer. In the World War II epic "Masters Of The Air," Boyle is Air Force Lieutenant Harry Crosby, a good man determined to get his boys home safely, with Boyle's narration grounding the lush, character and CGI-heavy series. But Boyle's talent truly shines in the stark contrast between his roles. In "Manhunt," he takes on the infamous American villain John Wilkes Booth, a role that required a completely different physicality and mental preparation from the Olivier-winning theater actor turned TV star. In conversation with Boyle, what stands out most is not just his impressive range, finally on proper display for American audiences, but also the careful consideration Boyle took in crafting these intimate portrayals. Please be sure to check out the shows, which are now available to stream on AppleTV+ and are up for your consideration in all eligible Emmy categories.

How much Fun would it be to have the opportunity to record one of the few working B17 "Flying Fortress" planes that are still operational? The sound team from AppleTV's "Masters Of The Air" got to do just that. They were able put 60 microphones all over the B17, to record every part of it that made a noise. Then they took those sounds back to the sound editorial team and turned the recordings into to the amazing sound design of the intense air battles featured in the series. Supervising sound editor Jack Whittaker and re-recording mixers Michael Minkler & Duncan McRae tell us all about the challenges this series presented and the ways they met them.

In this episode, Sean and James discuss the initial episode of the recently-released Apple TV+ series, Masters of the Air, which tells the story of the 100th Bomb Group, part of the Eighth Air Force that bombed Germany during World War II. In June 1943, the 100th, comprising four squadrons of B-17s from RAF base Thorpe Abbots, is sent on a daytime bombing mission to destroy targets in Bremen, Germany. Despite the use of the advanced Norden Bombsight the bombardiers are unable to confirm the targets due to heavy cloud cover, and the mission is aborted. The 100th is forced to fly through heavy anti-aircraft fire, and is then attacked by German fighter pilots. The failed mission results in the loss of three B-17s and thirty men, while the 100th commanding officer is relieved of command due to illness.
