In this movie, many soldiers cursed the Royal Air Force for not protecting them from the Luftwaffe bombers. What is not mentioned at all is that the Royal Air Force was already out, attacking the bombers sent to bomb the soldiers on the beaches, and the bombers that did attack, were only the ones that got past the fighters. These dogfights occurred more inland from Dunkirk, which is why the soldiers on the beaches didn't see many fighters during the evacuation, and why they thought the Royal Air Force had abandoned them.
