I have always been a fan of Joseph Heller's novel
Catch-22, which is based (to a greater or lesser degree) on his service in WW2 as a bombardier on B-25s in the Italian Campaign. In fact, as an English teacher, I taught the novel to my seniors in AP English Lit for years. A movie was made years ago (early 70s, I think?) that did a decent job of telling the novel's story, and now the TV streaming channel Hulu has a series, produced in part by George Clooney, of the novel.
I watched the first episode of the series this morning, and it's rather good
The craziness of the novel and witty dialogue comes through well, and the B-25s look great on the ground and in the air.
For those of you who might be fans of the book, I highly recommend it to your attention. I see that a second episode is ready to be viewed - not sure how many they plan to do...should you choose to watch, I hope you enjoy it!
All the best,
Matt
