Screenwriter John Orloff joins Dan to talk about the new WWII mini-series 'Masters of the Air'. It tells the true story of the 'Bloody Hundredth', an American bomb group stationed in England that fought in the skies over Nazi-occupied Europe.

A decade in the making, John explains how the show works to faithfully recreate the story of these airmen and the trials that they faced.

Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.
