A Yank in the RAF (1941)

Tim Baker: Well, I haven't looked at another girl since you left.
Carol Brown: Well, I've looked at other men.
Tim Baker: Maybe, but I'll bet you didn't look at them the same way you looked at me that first night in Kansas City. Remember?... You were going east, and I was going west; then we saw each other, and I was going east!

Bill Collins writes in his book 'Bill Collins presents The Golden Years of Hollywood', "With the co-operation of the Ministry for Information and a second-unit camera team headed by Ronald Neame . . . to shoot exciting RAF action in England, Daryl F. Zanuck livened-up the substance of the script and had a perfect vehicle for two of the 20th Century Fox company's top stars, Tyrone Power and Betty Grable. The box-office success of the movie was ensured by the stars . . ."
According to Bill Collins in his book 'Bill Collins presents The Golden Years of Hollywood', Darryl F. Zanuck was "very pro-British" and he wanted to make a movie about what was happening in England and Europe in regards to the Second World War.
According to the book 'The Films of World War II' by Joe Morella, Edward Z. Epstein and John Griggs, this movie was a pet project of studio mogul Darryl F. Zanuck. Zanuck recruited big star power to achieve success at the box-office with Tyrone Power and Betty Grable, the latter of whom was a famous WW II pin-up girl. At the time of production, America was neutral and Zanuck supported American entry into the war to support the allies.
