Also, the Pilot scenes were just too drawn out, especially the one where the pilot wants to bug out, but feels the draw of duty to shoot down the HE-111 the flies by him on its way to bomb the ship.

Wrong! All movies would benefit from more dogfight scenes IMNSHO. I could watch a movie that was nothing but a Spitfire flying in an endless loop.

They could even make sequels: "Spitfire 2 - now viewed from the starboard side "

LOL, well, I can see a kindred spirit in this kind of thing...I am an aviation fanatic, so I didn’t explain myself well.

I loved the quality of the flying scenes in Dunkirk, they were great, but watching them in the way they showed nearly gave me the bizarre impression I was watching an aviation version of the strange movie “Memento” about a guy who has no short term memory, and the movie begins at the end of the story, and is told backwards in repeating short intervals.

When we were watching “Dunkirk”, it seemed like they were doing that, where they would overlap the chase scene on the He-111 just enough that you felt the plane was flying 1000 feet forward and 500 feet backwards on every sequence they showed when they skipped back to it!

At one point someone blurted out something like “I don’t think he is actually going to catch up with the plane before the movie ends!”
