No reason why 'The Few' shouldn't be a fair tribute to the life of Billy Fiske.
...except he was not one of The Few.
Make a film of him, by all means. He was a true all-American hero, and he for his beliefs.
But, with Tom Cruise I can only imagine this is going to be another Top Gun.
Sorry, you Yanks, but it seems to me that nothing lies like an American film based on fact.
Hero that he was, Billy Fiske had nothing to do with The Few. That term was introduced by Winston Churchill after the Battle of Britain.
So the lie starts with the title.
By the way, there is a thread on Nigger in Jet Blast.
