Saw it yesterday...great film...however the chopped up editing made it very confusing time line wise for some...
I found it very strange in the opening that they refered to the "enemy" and not to "Germans or perhaps to be PC even "Nazi Germany" or "Hitler's Germany".
Also if ditching a Spit would you not want to lock the 'hood, canopy' open? During the film the pilots slide them back then close them again.
I had no idea spits ditched so well!
Also if you are going to glide to a landing on a beach is "wheels down" the best idea especially if you are going to destroy the aircraft anyhow? Great landing however.
Enjoyed the movie a lot.
There were a lot of folks very confused walking out of the film due to the choppy editing.
There should have been a couple of scenes to give historical context to the events depicted.
