“We love fighting. Fighting is a grand sport.”

For so much of the war, the vicious fighter planes that we obsess over to this day were being mis-used.

In a new epic seven-part series inspired by the release of ‘Masters Of The Air’ on AppleTV, Al Murray and James Holland tell the true story of the Mighty 8th - one of the most courageous units in the USAAF.

In today’s episode, Al Murray and James Holland trace the birth of Fighter Command and the birth of the iconic P-51 Mustang.
