Mistakes
When Rafe comes to England he gets a damaged Spitfire to counter the Luftwaffe. If you ignore the fact that he should at least make some flying hours in a Spit before going into combat, no one had to fly a shot-up Spit during the Battle of Britain, since Spitfire production could quite well keep up with the war losses. It was lack of fighter pilots that almost caused Britain's defeat. See more...
Trivia
Despite the treachery of the attack, fallen Japanese pilots were buried along with full military honors. See more...

Most mistakes in this film are fair game, but Disney's said numerous times that it's meant to be a love story, and not historically accurate in every detail. Therefore please don't send me historical inaccuracies, including the colour of the planes, etc.
Evelyn: Are you gonna be a bad influence?
Rafe: Of course I'm a bad influence.
Rafe: Ma'am, I'm never gonna be an English teacher, but I know why I'm here, to be a pilot, and you don't dogfight with manuals, you don't fly with gauges, I mean it's all about feeling and speed and lettin' that plane become like it's apart of your body, and that manual says that a guy who's a slow reader can't be a good pilot... that file says I'm the *best* pilot in this room... Ma'am, please... Don't take my wings
Evelyn: You're acting like I didn't love you.
Rafe: Evelyn, loving you kept me alive.
Evelyn: Every night I watch the sunset and soak up every last ray of its warmth, and send it from my heart to yours.
Captain Connor: You ever lose a fight, Miller?
Dorie Miller: I've been lucky, so far, Captain.
Captain Connor: From what I hear it ain't luck. The ship's proud of you, son.
Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle: Victory belongs to those who believe in it the most and believe in it the longest. We're gonna believe. We're gonna make America believe too.
Rafe: Dolittle assigned me. He wanted me to get some... some real combat training.
Danny: Well guess what? It isn't training over there, it's war. Where losers die and there aren't any winners, just guys who turn into broken-down wrecks like my father. Now if trouble awaits me, I'm ready. But why go looking for it?
Danny: You're a rotten drunk... always have been.
Rafe: Well, you're a lousy friend... that's a new development.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt: I like sub commanders. They have no time for bullshit, and neither do I.
Rafe: Not anxious to die sir, just anxious to matter.
Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle: There's nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer.
Admiral Yamamoto: I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant.
