I still think the 1969 movie The Battle of Britain was more exciting and they actually had real German twin-engine bombers and Fighters from the Spanish Air Force. The ship sinking scenes were awesome but I thought the aviation scenes could have been better considering it's a newer movie.

Interesting think piece - but neglects the aircraft serve two very different purposes - the aircraft in Dunkirk are groups of fighters associated with the key roles of their actual pilots and perhaps the crew - the aircraft in Casablanca are individual transports associated with the key roles of their actual or aspirational passengers.

These were both good movies but Dunkirk got it on the type of shots and cinematography in Dunkirk.

Interesting read from Wikipedia. The Spanish still have 32 bombers with Rolls Royce Merlin engines that were licensed he-111 bombers built in Spain.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Britain_(film)
