Went to see Dunkirk last night and clearly the movie should have been entitled "The Skies Over Dunkirk" as the real hero per Christopher Nolan was the RAF pilot who even with no actual fuel in his plane appears to scare off the entire Luftwaffe single handily and save 300,000+ British troops.
I then went to google to determine if that is even remotely based on actual RAF pilot before I answer my son on whether indeed this guy was legit and came to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...II_flying_aces
I was immediately met with a wall of Swastikas, because apparently the entire Allied air effort couldnt make it out of LFR in WOD raiding while 'Ze Germans' were world firsting (or fisting?) Mythic Legion content left and right.
I knew Ze Germans were good pilots, but this is insane. The vaunted American and British Air Corps are sitting below Finland and Romania for the love of God.
Before I begin to question my entire childhood mythology (?) of American Air Superiority, could this be some of sort of weird fake wikipedia entry and the actual historical reality was totally different??
