[challenge entry] It's a good job that America was there to save plucky little Britain
during the Battle of Britain


EDIT www.raf.mod.uk/bob1940/bobhome.html
it was in 1940...Pearl Harbour and the US entry into the war 1941...above pic is general historical revisionism...I await this film being made!

From the If Movie Plots Were Real challenge. See all 300 entries (closed)

# isn't that a spitfire?
if it is, the american airforce never flew spitfires in the second world war.

# I know what you are trying to imply
but I'm just saying, you could've been slightly more historically accurate with the planes, yes I am aware of the film and all the hoohar, but I don't believe the film portrays the yanks flying spitfires.

# I don't think there's anything I can say
to explain this to you. I think we will just draw a veil over the whole thing

# Meh
Just saying, if hollywood was real, they wouldn't portray em in spitfires as they are british, they'd portray em in Mustangs.

# Oh shush, you picky picky man ...
(and yes, it looks like a spitfire)
EDIT: And thinking about it, I think there were some American spitfire pilots in the Battle of Britain ... possible only half a dozen or so, so ner.

# No...
...but in every movie they make, they did EVERYTHING in the war, we did nada....hence the compo and the satyrical nature of the pic.....
