Replacements - S1-E4
Corrected entry: When they are suiting up for the Market Garden jump, Bull tells Garcia to "lose the reserve, we're jumping low," which is very untrue. The Market Garden was planned as a jump from 1000 to 1250 feet, which is higher than they did many of their qualifying jumps from.

Day of Days - S1-E2
Corrected entry: When Winters jumps from the C-47, he is not wearing a reserve parachute on his chest. There were many troopers who did not jump with reserves, but Winters was not one of them. Also, those who did jump without one usually carried something else in its place. There is nothing here on Winters.
Correction: In Major Winters' book, "Beyond Band Of Brothers" on page 72, second paragraph, last sentence, he writes, "Thank goodness my main chute opened when I jumped the next morning because I had no place to hang the reserve chute on my harness."

Correction: As the saying goes: "nothing survives first contact"; the pilots could have changed the height, from that first briefed back at base, due to any number of reasons.
