One film that always agitated my father, who was a pilot on the Dakota Force on 194 Sqn in 1944 at places such as Kohima and Imphal, was ‘Objective Burma’ starring Errol Flynn. My Father always referred to it as ‘Errol Flynn winning the war in Burma single handedly’.
To quote Wikipedia:
Even though it was based on the exploits of Merrill's Marauders, Objective Burma was withdrawn from release in the United Kingdom after it infuriated British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and drew protests about the Americanization of an almost entirely British, Indian and Commonwealth conflict. An editorial in The Times said:
It is essential both for the enemy and the Allies to understand how it came about that the war was won ... nations should know and appreciate the efforts other countries than their own made to the common cause.
I wonder what Danny 42 thinks of ‘Objective Burma’ having also been there and was he as bothered as Churchill and others?
