Masters Of The Air Killing Buck Cleven Would Be Like Band Of Brothers Killing Dick Winters
InMasters of the Airepisode 4 , Gale ' Buck ' Cleven does n’t return from his mission to Bremen , leaving the 100th to wear he is dead . This scenario is one that is not only shocking , but also far from whatBand of Brothersportrayed back when it premiered in 2000 . Though both serial publication are technically ensemble shows , reliant on their monumental and gifted casts , Austin Butler ’s Gale Cleven and Damien Lewis ' Dick Winters are both intact to their respective series . Winters and Cleven are leaders of their unit , and without them , things fall apart . That urinate Buck ’s mysterious fate much worse .

If anything , it will be more likeThe Pacific , which kill off its primary fictional character , John Basilone .
Rather than have an ensemble cast and a lead character , The Pacificfocused on the write up of three specific human race who fought in the Marine Corps . in the Pacific Theater during World War II .

The fact that the missionary station is completed only off - projection screen insinuates that something else happen to Cleven and his work party . Therefore , Masters of the Airwill not cross this descent thatBand of Brotherscouldn’t , but the shows are still testify to be much different .
