I spotted the R-1155 immediately.  One of the worst technical inconsistencies was aircraft engines coming to an instant stop with a loud "clunk" when they ran out of fuel. In real life, there would be sputtering and backfiring followed by the propeller windmilling until it was feathered. Despite these things, it was not a bad film.

Last thing on the subject before I stop wasting everyone’s time on this. The 2019 “ Midway “ was ok I guess, but for some weird reason every time the showed a radio close enough to recognize it was a British R-1155

Anyone else notice that?
