As has been noted, this is one wartime film that got it right. Apart from the accurate depiction of army flight training, WV probably remains the only movie featuring the Consolidated B-24.

Considering that his performance was witnessed by genuine airmen, let alone some combat veterans, EO's stock plummeted on base.
