For one thing, Fiske is a real person who did what he did--an athletic
playboy
who stepped up and joined the RAF and flew in the Battle of Britain--if
anything, he was more handsome and charismatic than Cruise. There were 11
or 12
Americans flying with the RAF then, one of whom survived the war.
For another thing, look up some of Mann's movies--"Heat" might be a good
start--he's not a lightweight and he handles action and men in action
well.

Indeed but he didnt do so in an Eagle Squadron, he flew with
601 Squadron having joined the RAF in 1939
