B24 and B17 at Moffett Field May 2015
Not very often you see both types of bombers together in one place outside of an air museum especially seeing both types in flying condition.
This video says Moffet field 2015, but it's actually 2011.

Masters of the Air — Official Trailer | Apple TV+
From the executive producers of Band of Brothers and The Pacific comes Masters of the Air, now streaming on Apple TV+ https://apple.co/_MastersOfTheAirBased ...
Have you been watching the apple tv show Masters of the Air? Spielberg and Hanks teamed up to make an USAAF version of Band of Brothers.
I've been watching this series weekly.
The Clark cable documentary is totally toned down. They allude to wounded being hit by twenty millimeter, They allude to bombers being lost and not coming back. This TV series tries to show it graphically and even shows Pilots and airmen being captured and sent to Prison camps.
