I did read sometime ago too that there was a poss film being considered about the BoB starring Tom Cruise who wins it John Wayne (the real one, not me) style on his own!! As far as I know only one US flyer flew with the RAF at that time and he only played a minor role. Oh sorry, I forgot about Ben Affleck's RAF heroics in 'Pearl Harbour'.
Sorry to our US friends, this isn't Yank bashing, but us Brits will never buy that much like U571 where you claim to have captured Enigma - our Navy boys did that - you can't change the history so don't deny us our glory, please!!
We love you all really, especially your flight jackets!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, no need to apologize to us Yanks--I think we pretty much agree with you. To digress a little: As for Tom Cruise (YUCK, with no apologies!!!), if the film gets made, let's pray he doesn't play his "Top Gun" type character in it. When "Top Gun" came out, I had several Navy pilot friends who said every one of the Naval Aviators they knew who saw it laughed out loud (and not because of any humor in the flick) at Cruise's character's ridiculous antics in the air and on the ground. All said no Naval pilot like that would ever be tolerated or last very long. As for a possible BoB movie, we can only hope. But, then, it is Tom Cruise after all.......
