In Episode 6 of Masters of the Air, we follow Major Egan as he fails to escape German authorities and is captured, resulting in horror scenes on the streets of a bombed city. He eventually finds himself in a prisoner-of-war camp. We follow other characters as they experience relaxation at a “Flak House” and at Oxford University during a meeting to further Allied cooperation.

Justin Voithofer and I are joined by Dan Vermilya of the Eisenhower National Historic Site in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to discuss the episode and the history behind the series.
