Generous IMV. The Spit was gorgeous, but a Spit had at most 15 seconds of firing from it's wing mounted .303s, while the plane in that film had about 15 MINUTES.
Also, fighters would rarely operate at sea level, which the "hero" seemed to do for most of the film.
( Yes, I know that various parts of the film were 'revisited for dramatic purposes' .)
If you want a romanticised version of the events of Dunkirk, I would suggest "Mrs Miniver". It had at least some of the emotions right.
1/2 out of 5 for me. Romanticised crap with some good cinematography. Best avoided.
