Mixed Aircraft Types
A pretty decent war movie for a low-budget effort. My big complaint (and this is true of a lot of WW2 movies) is the mixing of aircraft types in the same action sequence. A scene starts out with a Corsair starting take-off and switches to another type (Douglas Dauntless or Grumman Hellcat, are 2 examples) as it leaves the deck, or switching from Corsairs to Hellcats in a formation shot, an attack shot or a landing accident. I suppose the producers and editors didn't figure it would make any difference to the average viewer, but it is my contention that individuals who are interested in these types of films will be a bit more knowledgable about these things. Did anyone else notice these inconsistencies? There were other minor glitches, but not enough to hurt the plot.
