This turkey got a "Gentleman's 5" solely because everybody must have needed fast money to make a mortgage payment, or a gambling debt, or alimony or something. Just one laughable, incredulous scene after another.
Imagine Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox, walking through a German hospital ward tent in the Sahara in Summer wearing a tightly-belted full-length shiny black leather German trench coat.
Or how about a caravan of German trucks holding British POWs, German men and officers, and a beautiful Italian mistress to an Italian general - being strafed by a British fighter.
But, except for the British insignia on the side, this British aircraft had the emblems and markings of The Flying Tigers, under command of Claire Chennault of the First American Volunteer Group assigned to help the Republic of China Air Force fight the Japanese invasion of China pre-Pearl Harbor. This was the angry sharks head, open snarling mouth and teeth on the nose of the plane.
Someone definitely made a wrong turn somewhere, and it wasn't just this Flying Tiger. And so it goes.
