Add something

Factual error: Two of the gunners are Privates. The minimum rank for aircrew was Sergeant.

Necrothesp

Factual error: Both Flight Officer Garrett and Flight Lieutenant Williams address Captain Reeves as "Sir," despite holding the same equivalent rank. Garrett may not be aware of this (as she is actually only pretending to be a WAAF officer), but Williams certainly would be.

Necrothesp

Factual error: The American flag shown in the animated sequence at the beginning is the modern 50-star version rather than the WWII 48-star version.

Mistakes

Character mistake: The crew deride Garrett's title of Flight Officer, claiming that she can't have it because she hasn't flown in combat. In fact, Flight Officer was a genuine WAAF rank corresponding to Flight Lieutenant. Many RAF officers holding the ranks of Flight Lieutenant, Flying Officer, and Pilot Officer were not aircrew, despite their titles.
