Continuity: A montage scene of newspaper headlines early on has March 12, 1939 as the date. Much later in the film, Jude Law asks Gwyneth Paltrow the date so he can calculate the position of a star. She responds "March 2" but there is absolutely nothing to indicate that nearly a year has passed.
Factual error: At the very end, Polly Perkins takes a spectacular picture, using the very last shot on her only roll of film. When Sky Captain tells her she left the lens cap on, she is mortified. But she would certainly know that on her Argus 35mm camera, all she had to do was remove the lens cap and retake the shot. Unlike modern idiot-proof cameras, hers has no mechanism to prevent double-exposures.
