"A Yank in the RAF" is a black and white 1941 movie directed by Henry King, and is considered a typical early-World War II movie.

Plot

Though it came out in September 1941, months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the movie features an American pilot (Tyrone Power) who joins the Royal Air Force in England -- not to defend England but to impress a former girlfriend (Betty Grable). As the move progresses, his motivations gradually change as he begins to realize all that is at stake in the war and what the Allies are fighting for.
