I think the revisit of the Flying Tigers is due to it's relevance to him (and his heritage) as well as the sheer popularity and recognition of the Flying Tigers. I was probably a teen before I knew that the AVG wasn't actually a part of the USAAF.
The Battle of Britain has a plethora of Stories that would be absolutely incredible movies. Black Thursday could be a movie unto itself. I do know there is also supposed to be a Tuskegee movie in the works as well (from George Lucas in some fashion) I would actually like to see more of the war stories portrayed as the tragedies they are however.
While no one is denying the tyranny of the Axis powers, there were many individuals in those militaries that were much more than the political schemes of their governments allowed or wanted them to be.
