I for one think the Tora fleet of "Japanese" aircraft was an amazing achievement. To those upset about "obvious Harvards", what would you have done in the late 1960s to create that number of aircraft? I dread showing anyone who isn't a military/aircraft nerd the movie because of the way it's made and its pacing but I love it.

No one will "let them do" what you've said. It's ridiculous to keep harping on about an Americanised Dam Busters with B-17s when we know they've built a squadron of static Lancasters and one each Wellington and Mosquito for the production. It seems you can't mention the project on a forum or on social media without someone bringing up B-17s and Tom Cruise!!!
