I saw this in yesterdays People newspaper, hadn’t anybody told them the US didn’t enter WW2 until just over one year later!

And no, BSG-75… we are not as uneducated as you seem to think.
:rolleyes:
Hollyweird is rather unique in that regard… they are almost as bad as Brits “knowledge” of America & Americans.

It appears that some here have had their sense of humor removed.
The article cited in the OP (included pic) seems to be claiming that P-51Ds (the bubble-canopy version which first flew in late 1943) fought in the Battle of Britain (late 1940, some 18 months before the combat debut of the first P-51s of any type).
In the spirit of that historical distortion, several posters then offered their own “popular history distortions”, trying to see if they could mangle facts as badly as the article that started this thread.
Satire, what? 😉
