Show generally

Factual error: In the initial opening credits, there's a statement that the flying battle scenes were flown by the Air Force. At the time of the events depicted there was only the Army Air Corps. 1947 was the beginning of the Air Force.

The Clash - S1-E20

Factual error: The sea plane that lands to rescue Savage at the end is a type not built until after the war. And it's marked "U.S. Air Force," an entity that also didn't exist until after the war. During WWII, what later became the Air Force was known as the U.S. Army Air Corps.
