Nor are British writers immune from doing the same thing. Case in point I saw the classic British movie "Battle of Britain" the other day but not once were any foreign members of the RAF depicted except the Poles. That's 284 men who risked life and limb to help defend England from the nazi scourge and the makers of that movie ignored their contribution. Should we blame British popular history for that oversight?
thats wierd as not only are many nationalitites depicted in that film but all the pilots and their nationalities are listed at the end of the film as a memorial to their contribution. Perhaps you need to watch the film again.

Hold on I just checked , you are right. Two jamaican pilots as well as an Austrian , Egyptian and Icelander are missing from the film
