  5. Here we have it, one of four main storylines about Fighter Command pilots, in the biggest British film about the battle is about Polish pilots. Even though the Poles actually only made up 5% of the number of Fighter Command pilots in the battle. And the Poles always get overlooked?..

  7. 'It always amazed me that initially, the RAF had such a reluctance to use non British aircrew' Any reluctance aplied to anyone who did not have English as their first language. Why would it be amazing, given how new the air defence system was?
