Very easy to say 70 years after the event when none of the pilots from the squadron are alive to comment or give their side of events.
I can only go by my experience with WWII veterans (my Dad being one), I've gone to numerous events and listened to a lot of stories.
What I can say is that if anyone actually tried to 'shoot a line' or put through anything that was vaguely untrue it would be the veterans themselves that would be the first to put the guy in his place (Being unfettered by the restraints of political correctness it wouldn't be pleasant!)
The show was based on events recorded in the squadron diary.
