A Yank in the R.A.F. (1941)
Member Rating:  
A Yank in the RAF is brash pilot Tim Baker (Tyrone Power), freshly arrived in London. Hoping to impress his nightclub-singer girlfriend Carol Brown (Betty Grable), Tim joins the Royal Air Force, immediately alienating everyone with his cockiness and "What the Hell?" attitude concerning the war. All this changes when Baker is obliged to fly under combat conditions, whereupon he shows what he's really made of. One of the most popular of the pre-Pearl Harbor "preparedness" films, A Yank in the RAF comes to an exciting conclusion, with actual newsreel footage of the evacuation of Dunkirk expertly matched with studio mockups. As a bonus, Betty Grable sings such catchy numbers as Another Little Dream Won't Do Us Any Harm. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This movie had a lot of truth of what the 2nd World War was about in England. Betty Grable and Tyrone Power were two of the favorites of 1940. Also, without the Spitfire planes in England, Churchill could not have won over Hitler. It was a terrible war, but with all the British pulling together, with a few Americans (as this movie shows) thrown in, they were able to show a fighting spirit throughout. This movie was a Hollywood rendition of some of the goings on. In 1940 this was for real.

I like classic movies but this one was just plain old and out dated. Ridiculous love story with an obnoxious leading man. You are supposed to like him but I just hoped his plane would get shot down. Not a good movie!
