Masters of the Air: RAF Mildenhall's WWII link

Masters of the Air on Apple TV+ is produced by Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg and has connections to Suffolk.

Episode three details the infamous Regensburg-Schweinfurt Raid. Part of this includes the incident in which the B-17 Flying Fortress “HIGH LIFE” was downed, and the crew remained in neutral Switzerland.

Wing Commander, Col. Ryan J. Garlow of the US Airforce, who is currently based at Mildenhall, is the step-grandson of one of the crew and had a chat with Sarah Lilley.
