Which hits right on the truth, in my view. A box-office hit won't depend on a few thousand self-opinionated flight-simmers and their picky take on 'realism' or 'integrity' or any other long words. And, anyway, half of us will probably see it so that we can gripe about it afterwards.

But why on earth would the general public want to see it? Sure it's a great story of success in the face of adversity and prejudice, but that story is an old one. Set it against the backdrop of aircraft in WW2 and the general public isn't interested. I bet that's why it is a cheap looking film.
