Country:  | One thing that bugged me in that is that you could see there were different versions when they showed the planes on the ground than when they showed them taking off. There were a lot of liberties taken with the aircraft in that film.

Country: | Yea, but when you compare it to some other war movies of the time its not actually that bad. I mean some of them are just confusing, one second youre seeing SBDs diving down to attack a jap carrier and the next second you see a guncam clip of a zero bursting into flames.

Country: | True enough. I guess they made do with what they had in stock footage.

| No joke, there was a 50's ETO movie about p-47s over france. me-109s were just nazi-fied mustangs. That's not quite as bad as a zero trying to pass for a dauntless, seeing as there were stories of confusion with p-51s and -109s. On a cloudy day a p-51 pilot got a bit turned around and flew into formation- and noticed his fellow wingmen had oddly painted p-51s! I imagine thats a perfectly acceptable time to crap one's pants.

I had never seen an aircraft completely disintegrate in the air the way this Me-110 did..."

Country:  | There was another film I have seen that used ME-108's for BF-109's. I forget the name though.
