Oversexed, Overpaid and Over Here: The American Airmen in Britain

It is 1942. The UK has survived the blitz and has won the battle of Britain. The tide of the war could be about to change. It is at this point that the first American airmen arrive to help take the war to Hitler in Europe.

Using many now forgotten airfields, these visitors from across the Atlantic brought not just their bravery but many cultural changes with them.

This endearing film brings the sense of excitement that came with these young men and remembers the ultimate sacrifice that many of them made.
