Nothing amazing about it - 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.
