The follow-up to "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" will be based on Donald Miller's "Masters of the Air."
HBO confirmed Friday that it is developing a third World War II miniseries from Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.
Joining an oeuvre that already includes 2001's Band of Brothers and 2010's The Pacific, the untitled miniseries will explore the aerial wars through the eyes of enlisted men of the Eighth Air Force -- known as the men of the Mighty Eighth. The project will use as its source material historian Donald L. Miller’s nonfiction tome Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany.
