Masters of the Air Recap: London by Night
Buck goes missing as Bucky spends a weekend in London.
In a show full of millennial Brits and Irishmen doing their damndest to sound like Americans born roughly a century ago, I also wondered if Bob didn’t arouse his captors’ suspicion by over-egging his accent and dialect work: “Y’all sure musta kicked the hornet’s nest,” he tells Bailey. This crew, led by Nate Mann’s Lieutenant Robert “Rosie” Rosenthal, comes with enough of a reputation to get them a personal welcome from their seasoned superior officers, Austin Butler’s Gale “Buck” Clevin and Callum Turner’s John “Bucky” Egan. • Since this episode follows Bucky on a weekend pass to get drunk and get laid, this is probably the right place to direct extra-credit seekers to the discussion of sex work and the venereal disease epidemic that struck the U.K. in 1943 that Miller includes on pages 219-220 of Masters of the Air.
