Just read on Comcast news page that Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg will team up again as producers for a new World War 2 mini-series, this time about the Eighth Air Force. It'll be based on a book by Donald Miller, called, Masters Of The Air: Americas Bomber Boys Who Fought The Air War Against Nazi Germany. It didn't say when they plan to begin filming.
