It seems like all talk of a projected HBO mini-series about the Eighth Air Force in WWII has ceased.

For a while, I could see articles about "The Mighty Eighth", a projected HBO mini-series like "Band Of Brothers" and "The Pacific", everywhere.

It was scheduled to air sometime in 2019. It was mentioned on the wikipedia pages for both Stephen Spielberg and Tom Hanks, the executive producers of both prior series.

Now I don't see notifications anywhere. They disappeared from the aforementioned wikipedia pages. It is as if, like a bomber mission itself, the series has been scrubbed.

Anyone know anything about it?

1. it's now called

The Mighty Eighth. But it's still listed as being in development on IMDB so doesn't sound like it has begun actual production yet.

3. I just finished like my twentieth re-watch.

Every time I see it, I recognize a British actor I hadn't noted before. Private John Halls, of New York, was played (briefly) by the guy who played Moriarty in 'Sherlock'.
