Other mistake: At the end, it states "Clarence Dickinson became a 'Real' Admiral..." instead of Rear Admiral. (02:04:17)
Suggested correction: I just had the chance to watch the movie again. It says "Rear" not "Real" as alleged in this entry.
I watched just now and my version also shows "Real" rather than "Rear." Perhaps this was fixed only in some releases.
What version did you watch? I see "Rear." Perhaps a screenshot is needed.
Other mistake: During the attack on Pearl Harbour we see a sailor burn both hands on some metal in front of him on the USS Arizona. However, when we see them looking at the hole in the deck caused by the Japanese bomb, other people are able to touch the metal with no ill effects. (00:12:30)
Other mistake: When the attack from Japan starts at Midway and the message is reported to Nimitz, he is telling Layton that he was off slightly on his calculations. He looks at his watch, which should show 6:40 ish, but shows 3 o'clock.
Suggested correction: This is very questionable. First to get a good look at the hands on the watch, you have to pause the movie. When paused, you see a fuzzy view of the hands of the watch. You can make out one short hand (hours) and two longer hands (minutes/seconds). The short hand is pointing down towards around six or seven. One of the long hands is pointed up, at around twelve. The other long hand points towards the area of four, neither long hand (minutes) position of which would give a time of 3:00.
