The Masters of the Air cast wasn't afraid to put in some hard work in order to prepare for their roles as the real-life heroes of World War II's 100th Bomb Group. Ahead of Friday's premiere of the Apple TV+ follow-up to Band of Brothers and The Pacific from executive producers Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Steven Spielberg, actors Anthony Boyle (Major Harry Crosby) and Nate Mann (Major Rosie Rosenthal) revealed to PopCulture.com how a real-life boot camp got them into the headspace of the soldiers who helped turn the tides of WWII.

"It was crazy. ...The normal rehearsal process you go in, you have a conversation, you have a coffee, talk about the character. This, we showed up and there was a man in his 60s or 70s [Captain Dale Dye] making us wear Army uniforms, calling us maggots," Boyle told PopCulture. "It was a very different process than what we were used to."

Masters of the Air premieres Friday, Jan. 26 on Apple TV+.
