Historian/Author Donald Miller, alongside Producer Kirk Saduski, will be featured in an evening program on Saturday, 3/22/25, at 6 pm, here at the Palm Springs Air Museum. The program will last one hour, moderated by Fred Bell, followed by a Q&A session and book signing. Food & Drinks will be available at no extra cost during the program.

Miller’s book, “Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany,” (Simon & Schuster), is the inspiration behind the Apple TV streaming series Masters of the Air. The series is produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. The book tells the story of the American Eighth Air Force in World War II and the young pilots who flew the bombers that helped defeat the Nazis and liberate Europe.

Miller previously worked with Spielberg and Hanks as a historical consultant for the ten-part HBO series The Pacific. He was also the on-camera historian, writer, and chief consultant for the series’ accompanying documentary. Miller served as coproducer and cocreator, with Hanks, on He Has Seen War, an HBO documentary on World War II troops returning home. Miller’s other World War II books are D-Days in the Pacific (2004) and The Story of World War II (2001).

Kirk Saduski has a B.A. in history from UCLA and an M.A. in history from S.F. State. He has been a producer and executive at Playtone since 1998. He was Executive-in-charge of the HBO mini-series Band of Brothers as well as a Co-Producer of the HBO mini-series John Adams and The Pacific. Mr. Saduski was Co-Producer of the HBO documentary David McCullough: Painting with Words and Producer of the HBO documentary He Has Seen War. He’s a member of the Presidential Council at the National World War Two Museum and a Narrative Advisor to the National World War Two Museum in Washington D.C.
