Trivia

All of the members of the Norwegian resistance movement (the Ling) are ambushed and wiped out by the Germans on their way to attack the defences. This would suggest that Erik Bergman (played by George Chakiris) must have broken under torture and given the information about the upcoming attacks to the Germans - allowing them to know where and when to ambush the resistance men. So the Wing Commander's murder mission was a waste of effort (or at least too late). See more...

Mistake Other: As the special bombs are being towed onto the base, a modern white saloon car is seen driving past on the road.

Mistake Factual error: A modern (1950's) motorcar is seen parked behind the Mosquito aircraft after they have had their special bombs loaded and the crew are just about to board prior to taking off on the mission.

Mistake Factual error: The Norwegian resistance fighters are in their truck and being chased by a German armoured car. The armoured car used is a post-war (1950s/60s) British Army Saracen APC.

Mistake Factual error: When the first Mosquito aircraft crashes during training the two RAF officers watching from the ground get in their vehicle to rush to the crash scene. The vehicle they get into is a post-war (first designed in 1948) Land-Rover.

Mistake Other: During the practice bombing runs the bombers have to bank hard to the right. The back projection shows the planes banking to the left.

Mistake Factual error: In all the scenes in which the '109s' attack, you can see that they are not Messerschmidt 109s but the ME108, a civilian/training aircraft (the 109's predecessor).

Mistake Revealing: There is a British pilot who tries to pull rank in order to chat up Erik's sister. He has a hook for a hand, but the arm isn't any shorter. He is holding onto the hook under his cuff.

Mistake Continuity: As Wing Commander Roy Adams exits his plane, after crash landing, his jacket catches on fire. As he runs across the wing it goes out. After he jumps off the wing it's on fire again.

Mistake Revealing: in the scene where Flight Lt Gillibrand (the Australian) is making his practice bombing run there is a shot of him in the cockpit with the camera pointing in his face. He is shown turning the control wheel hard to his right. But the rear screen projection shows a slight left bank.
