633 Squad was actually used as temp footage placeholders for the space battles before the ILM comps were done, IIRC. That's where the concrete influence comes from. Of course, the film is just a Dam Busters clone but I think Lucas was mainly interested in it for the conception of flight battle, rather than story and character. But it no doubt further ingrained in him the "one strategic shot will topple the enemy base" thread of the end battle.
