What critics compared Air Force to
Instead, they’ve drawn inspiration from WWII-era classics like Air Force and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo , grounding their ensemble in authentic human emotions and giving them inner lives beyond what happens to them in the cockpit.
In tone and mood, it does not belong to the first wave of bitter agitprop, those encomiums to genocide like "Bataan" and "Air Force" in which the Japanese were a monkey-race to be exterminated without mercy.
The colorful, multi-ethnic characters who populate Pitt’s tank (named Fury) could have come from a vintage movie like Howard Hawks’ Air Force.
