Anyone who has the slightest knowledge of WW2 aviation knew this movie was going to be bad, on many levels.

And just for the sake of historical accuracy...

The 99th. lost 25 B17s that they were escorting, they did not have a perfect record in this regard, unlike the mythology that has built up around them.

Just once I'd like to see a film about WW2 aviation that was as good as Das Boot, and I don't really care which side it would be about.
