Masters of the Air. It’s 1945, Major John Bucky Egan is an airman in the 100th during the Second World War. He is tall, with dark hair and piercing blue eyes. He has a hard, slim jaw and full lips. He's sassy, and charming and speaks before he thinks more often than not. He loves women, whiskey, baseball, and flying with his best friend Gale Clevens. He's bad with dark emotions and hides his sadness and fear under bravado and laughter.
