Fans of the television series “Masters Of The Air”, currently showing on Disney TV, will be only too aware of the courage of the American pilots and aircrew who faced overwhelming odds in raids over Nazi Germany during the second World War.
The reliability of the planes they flew in was vital to their survival and relied on skilled mechanics and a steady stream of replacement parts to allow them to continue the fight.
Arthur Miller’s play “All My Sons”, on at the Cotswold Playhouse from Tuesday 19th March, was inspired by the true story of one successful businessman who knowingly sold the US government defective airplane parts during the war with tragic consequences.
