Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry There is a scene early in the movie where a band is playing on the deck of one of the Japanese carriers. The band is playing in 4/4 time, but the director is conducting in 3/4 time. [If you count the beat for the music it is in 3/4 time.]
Entry In the scene after the attack, Admiral Yamamoto is with his staff and they are listening to a radio report. The report states it's from the Navy Department and is dated December 7. The attack on Pearl Harbr was on December 7, Hawaiian time. But, between Hawaii and Japan there is the International dateline. Therefore, as far as Japan time, the attack was on December 8. [The date of a large scale disater/event is always refered to by the date of "where" it takes place. The terrorists attacks in NYC and Pennsylvania are a more recent example of this. The people on the other side on the international dateline did not receive information on, or refer to the attacks as being on, the "September 12th Attacks" but rather it is refered to and was reported as the attacks on 9/11.]
Entry The crash landing of the B17 was real.  During the filming, one of the bombers could not lower its right landing gear, so the producers rushed a crew to the airport, to film the bomber's crash landing. [In fact that is stock footage from the WW2 documentary "Memphis Belle", shot by William Wyler.]
