CARELESS LITTLE _MISTAKES
[To the • Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] Sta,—Mr. Anthony Powell's " Marginal Comments " on the proposal for an American film actor to play the leading part in a film of the Royal Air Force will probably be endorsed by a large number of people in England.
I should like,-however, to point out to Mr. Powell that there is no such thing as a flight-captain in the R.A.F. ; neither is there a Service called " the American Air Force." These are not perhaps very important points in themselves, but they do show that the author of the article has not such a thorough knowledge of his subject as one would expect from a contributor to The Spectator.
It is just such careless little mistakes by the film producers in the United States that help to cause the misunderstanding to which Mr. Anthony Powell refers.—Yours, &c.,
