Jimmy Doolittle was assigned to procurement when he came back to the AAC in 1940. Not until Jan. 42 was he assigned to prepare for the Tokyo Raid.
A studdered as a pilot? that is a joke too!
US Navy nurses giving physicals to US Army Air Corp pilot? The US Army had and still has its own nurses and medical personal for that!
and what is with the "admiral kimmel" that is so young. That actor is about 40 years old playing Kimmel, who was 59 years old!
Modern Battleship at Pearl Harbor, USS Missouri was even built in 41!
Supposedly Russia is in the war when Affleck is in the Uk fighting the Luftwaffe. But the Luftwaffe had moved its entire bomber force to Poland in May 41 for the June Invasion. Britain was not being bombed anymore but instead was itself bombing Germany and conducting hit and run raids over France in 41!

The entire idea of a US army pilot in a US army uniform flying with the RAF prior to 1942 is ridiculous, but as the Bey bootlickers say, it's only a movie.

Yup this movie is a joke. Should have never been made.

You people are pathetic and American pilots were flying for the RAF and chinese well before 1942

As volunteers, yes, not as members of the US Army. Btw, the Chenault "Flying Tigers" were made up of men "allowed" to resign their army commissions and fly as volunteers for China's "Nationalist Air Force."

You have no place here Indy!

Go type somewhere else. The IMDB is no place for the sensible or the well informed.

Put your money where your mouth is big guy. Link me to somewhere that can prove that U. S. airmen wearing US uniforms and being paid US dollars flew for either Britain or the Chinese prior to 12/8/41.
