Deere is one of the greatest hero airplane pilot to ever come out of New Zealand , though he fought for Great Britain during WWII . He was known thanks to several close - death experiences throughout his illustrious career in various battles , one of which was excellently depicted inDunkirk .
Hardy ’s character Farrier , while fictional , is technically not based on just one soldier or pilot , but the heroism of both the fancied Farrier and the substantial - life Deere has several pregnant analog . Deere document his warfare stories in his autobiographyNine life : Fighter Pilots . During WWII , Deere ’s aeroplane was damage while oppose the Germans over Dunkirk . He was forced to make an parking brake landing on a Belgian beach , which was similar to Farrier ’s fortune atthe end of Christopher Nolan’sDunkirk .
However , unlike Farrier in the film , Deere was n’t taken as a prisoner of war by Germans after he crash . Instead , Deere made his way to a nearby town and was later rescued by the British Army . He survived World War II and die in 1995 at the years of 77 . Remarkably , Dunkirk was Deere ’s first scrap experience during the warfare .
