sacrilege

[Michael Rolls]

flicking through YouTube I saw something entitled 'the 1,000 bomber raid'. Expecting it to be a documentary of the three 1,000 bomber raids launced by RAF Bomber Command in May and June 1942 I turned it on. What did I get? A work of pure fiction (turned off rapidly} featuring the USAAF B-17s! To the best of my memory the USAAF never launched a thousand B-17s (no other a/c were shown) on a single raid although some were pretty big. Also the RAF raids were at night, this film showed a daylight raid with typical Yankee bravado - still, if Errol Flynn could defeat the Japanese single-handed, I suppose anything is possible.

Erol Flynn along with John Wayne  and The Terminator could sort out all the battles that are going on in the world.. 
I forgot to add the Road Runner...' beep beep'.

Hollywood moguls always were fond of changing history.

The Americans have saved the world so many times we should be very thankful.

This is why I don't usually bother to watch American films.  I much prefer old black and white British films made in the days when we still had a country to be proud of.
My father's generation was the last to really make such films on a regular and reliable basis.
My generation continued to do so, but perhaps with a smaller outcome and, of course, 'political correctness' began to creep in too.
What we do now is a very much reduced output with only the occasional output and riddled with women doing what men used to do and, of course, the obligatory non-white lead players far greater in number than their real proportion of British people.
The consequence, British films worth watching are now few and far between.
