Americans are seldom portayed in a
subordinate role in another nation's war effort. If they're
portrayed, they are required to play a more substantial institutional
or leadership role. A film showing the heroism of Americans as
components of an RAF unit, almost indistinguishably from Canadians,
does not fit the presumptive requirements.

Shame, though, as there were plenty of Americans serving in
Commonwealth forces outside the Eagle Squadrons, and they could do
with some celebration as much as anyone else.

We did get a nice supporting part in "A Piece of Cake,', but then
that WAS a British production.

And we got a return match in 1000 Plane Raid with an RAF pilot! ;-)

Shame about the suspicious spitfire cockpit canopy where the spitfire gets
very close to the B17 though.
