Anachronisms and other errors
* The "B-24" used by the American General is actually an RAF Lancaster bomber.
* The USAAF landed in Gander in a Lancaster bomber. The USAAF did not use Lancasters, and couldn't have been using them in 1940 since they were not yet in operational service.
* The American General is wearing 5 stars indicating General of the Army rank, a rank no Army Air Corps officer ever achieved during the Second World War.
* The DC-3 shown was equipped with modern turboprops, and of course sounded nothing like a DC-3.
* One scene shows a de Havilland Chipmunk trainer in a hangar. There were no Chipmunks in service in 1940; the first one flew in 1946.
* A modern dial tone could be heard during overseas telephone calls between Bennett and Lord Beaverbrook.
