Mission of Honor (II) (2018)
2/10
Stars for the real pilots, none for the movie.
6 February 2019
Pretty bad. Whoever made this movie has obviously never served in the R.A.F. Stocks of ammunition in 1940 were very low and fighter pilots were instructed to think S.O.B. (i.e. short bursts) to curtail wastage. The movie 'pilots' of this movie would have been out of ammunition so quickly they would have been shot down in no time.

There is nothing new in this movie that hasn't already been said and portrayed better in movies such as "The Battle of Britain", "Reach for the Sky", and others. That the Polish pilots fought with courage during the Battle of Britain has never been in dispute, but no more than the courage of pilots of other nations. To imply that the Poles alone saved Britain is ridiculous.

That the Union Flag was shown flying upside down just about sums up this movie. It displays how little research has gone into it.

The two stars I award to this movie is to acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of all piiols who fought in this world-changing battle, and only that. The rest of the movie warrants zero.
