# 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.

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 ...

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.
