@alexroxhissox Because they were landing in France. That's across the channel that is called the English Channel, It's alot more closer then the US. if they took off at the states they would've made it because they would've ran out of fuel and dropped into the ocean.

i haven't seen this series so this question is not as stupid as it seems, but from youtube it looks like this company's training and deployment was done from england, why is this? is it for the terrain, or what?

[Distancian]

@prorobo I loved the pacific, Band of brothers is better but i seen it 15 times now so The pacific is great to have as a new movie

RAF Upottery. ' Smeatharpe'. Cornwall.

@countrywideboy its near the devon somerset border not cornwall :)

[countrywideboy]

@fishingtaz thank you.

[traceynorthernstar]

Can i ask a really dense question...was this a film or something?? I Genuinely have no idea....I'm not usually one for films etc but this looks interesting

[blacktigerpaw1]

@traceynorthernstar It was a series.

[carl2017]

Band of Brothers was an incredibly moving series. Actually brought a tear to my eye watching the interviews with the real Paras. Not easy after being a Firefighter for 16 years!

[ianb07]

Awesome scene still gives me goosebumps when i watch it !!!!

[ajb7876]

If this is a stupid question I apologise in advance! How many Dakotas are there in the world that are still airworthy? Are we seeing real aircraft taxi-ing and taking off here or this really good CGI/trick photography/editing using just one or two real aircraft?

[traceynorthernstar]

@ajb7876 There are quite a few. Air Atlantique have them in cargo service and the 'Battle of Britain Memorial Flight' of the RAF have one. x

[CoBros]

@ajb7876 replicas they aren't THE actual aircraft

[RAMBLINGMAN75]

Agree with many of the Posts,..Band of Brothers...you felt you could be one of those men Winters helped up off the floor, where the pacific, their seems less attachment to men and individual characters!

I like the pacific, but it is no BoB, and hopefully out their are some good British writers who can put the Pegasus Bridge book and subsequent storys of the British Parachute regiment into a series screenplay to hand to speilberg and Hanks and see what they think...if not, l shall do it myself!

[prorobo]

Band of Brothers was an absolute perfectly done series. I'm not so sure about The Pacific after seeing its premiere tonight.

[kamakazi423]

@prorobo agreed, the pacific doesnt seem to live up at all to this

[prorobo]

@kamakazi423 Nope, not at all. I'm quite disappointed in it. Watching Band of Brothers felt like you were a part of Easy Company where watching The Pacific feels like a movie.

[ajb7876]

@prorobo.Sadly I have to agree,I was really looking forward to `The Pacific` but while the combat scenes were really good the jumping around between characters and theatres of war kind of diluted the punch,whereas BOB with its very linear style  made you really care about every man in the company.

[BigSmoke2222]

I love the track that plays right when the planes take off. It must be sad, they didnt know if they would ever come back...

[lifeissrecret2000]

i think this scense is really so " speahless " for me , i feel so moved when i see the plane go up into the skye , i m a girl & m into war film , hero one like this .

[M4SSACREandrew]

imagine getting in those planes with all the equipment

[shouavaj12]

Y were they looking at the camera at 0:50?

[ajb7876]

Imagine real troops in 1944 looking at a newsreal camera.

[gatorsuk]

prob to make u wonder wat theyre thinkin b4 they board

[egdqv13234]

to show the last faces that will die in the war?=P

[videomaster54321]

0:50 What's with the staring?

[celtagas]

no idea pal

[Gernsback]

maybe just spacing out... waiting? i dunno, maybe the "camera" just so happens to be at where they space out

[berserker276]

@videomaster54321 They're staring at you in particular because they hate you :)

[RockyC123]

6:07 i love the british helmets.

[celtagas]

y do u love the british helmets lol

[RockyC123]

because their like hats and you can wear them on an angle and stuff and they just look cool lol

[Gernsback]

[Aviator1112]
