Towards the end of the movie the TA's are assigned the task of escorting a flight of B17's. To accomplish this they are shown flying in formation with the bombers. Such a position would afford the bombers little protection and could expose the TA's to flack. The correct position would have been somewhat higher than the bombers and off to one side. Most certainly they would have remained outside the gun range of the bombers whose gunners would "in the fog of war" occasionally fire on their escorts. Additionally there would be another group of escorting fighters flying "high/top cover" for the lower group of fighters to insure they were not jumped by Germans "coming out of the sun" or otherwise ambushing the escort.
