hello, it is me again🧍🏼

i have a question about mota history and immediately thought of you! if you can’t answer it, that’s totally fine tho!

so, in the series red is always titled as major and he also wears the gold leaf but i read his diary and some other material i could find about him and judging that he only became a major maybe in late 1944, early 1945 (?)

do you maybe know more? or know how to find out more?

it’s really random, i know, but he’s one of my faves in the series and unfortunately there is very little about the actual red🥲

Hi! So this was actually kind of fun for me. I actually love these sort of scavenger hunts a lot because I have access to almost every 100th BG book/memoir that exists (either digitally or physically) so I will always happily help :)

Side note, I do need Lemmons memoir still…

Anyway, I did a little research and I think I’ve narrowed it down. According to the book They Never Had It So Good by Jack Sheridan, Red was moved from the 350th Squadron to Group HQ in April of 1944, supposedly sometime after April 15.

Here’s a screenshot from where I found this in the book. The book goes chronological, and there’s obviously chances things are out of order, but the book was published in 1946 so there’s definitely a higher chance of accuracy than say a memoir published decades later.

The highlighted yellow discusses his promotion. Now promotion in position doesn’t always mean promotion in rank, but given how he says they call him “our Major Bowman” we can assume it was not long after that he was promoted in rank.

This can be further supported by how one paragraph later, Sheridan mentions Karl Standish was sent home around the same time as Bowman’s promotion.

According to Bowman’s diary, Standish was sent home on April 18, 1944.

Theoretically, this means he was promoted between April 15 and April 18, 1944.

Is this guaranteed to be right? Obviously not. Is it highly likely? Yes. According to Contrails: My War Record by Henry Harold, Bowman was a Major by the time of the Russian shuttle mission. I know Crosby’s memoir calls him Captain still as of July 1944 during the Russian shuttle mission, but Crosby is a slightly unreliable narrator in terms of dates and some finer details.

So my answer for you is April 1944. If I had to put my money on a specific day, I’d pick sometime between April 15 and April 18, 1944.

Person who mentioned a way to filter tags on mobile! I got to work a bit early and had a look! Its under the "filtering" option in the general settings. But yeah I heard its not very good and the tags have to be exact. So if you blacklist pedo and someone tags cw pedo the it wont filter if i heard it right. Really g2g sorry for little info

Hi TT! Thanks for getting back to me! I should clarify, I meant dubbing in Ishqbaaz. I've seen a Snapchat story of Nakuul dubbing and you talk about bad dubbing....why would they dub in hindi if the show is already in hindi?

Hi again anon!

Aaaaaaaah okie, I completely misunderstood! Sorry about that!

So usually, the show is recorded in sync sound: the sound/dialogue is recorded as they shoot. You can see the body mics on the actors in some scenes (esp the female actors, look out for the back of their waists when they wear saris/lehengas); these body mics are what capture the sync sound. But sometimes, the sync sound doesn’t work: the sound wasn’t recorded properly, there’s interruptions or background noise, the actor wasn’t feeling well and their voice wasn’t up to the mark, they keep messing up their lines too many times and there’s only so many takes that can be given before you give up and decide to move on to the next scene, etc. In such cases, they have the actor/dubbing artist re-record just the audio bit of the scene, and then add it in, in post production.

Done properly, you wouldn’t be able to tell that the audio was dubbed (for instance, up until the 2000s, Bollywood movies were all dubbed. So actors would shoot the actual bit on camera, and then have to dedicate a portion of time after, to dub all their lines, which would be edited in. Only quite recently, with the advance in technology, has Bollywood started shooting in sync sound. You can read more here.) But idk why, on this show, you can tell very very obviously as to which parts are dubbed. Something about the sound (usually that the background is overly quiet… There’s a very obvious lack of ambient noise. Do I make sense?) is just DIFFERENT from the way it would sound if shot in sync sound. (Ok I know WHY; it’s coz the editing on this show is done by a group of monkeys with above-average proficiency with computers. 🙄🙄🙄)
