This week we’re sharing our interview with Matt Mabe, one of the directors for the 100th Bomb Group Foundation who works with the group’s veterans, social media accounts, newsletter, events, and technical consulting. Matt has been a friend of the veterans of the 100th for years, and his knowledge and resources were vital in bringing the Masters of the Air to the screen.
The Masters of the Air series on AppleTV+ is centered around the 100th Bomb Group. The show tells stories of those men in the 100th Bomb Group, the 8th Air Force, and some of the Tuskegee Airmen.
You’ll want to tune in if you’ve been watching the Masters of the Air series, if you love or have an interest in WWII, or if you’re interested in the history of the 100th Bomb Group. We hope you’re following The Masters of the Air DEBRIEF series, and please share today’s episode if you find it insightful.
