Another view of the fiberglass Kingfisher replica. Interestingly, the aircraft lacks the
red circle within
the national insignia; one of the few mistakes in authenticity made by the production
crew.

B-25J Mitchell bomber that was used in the scene where a Zero crashes into a hangar (seen
from within).
The question is: why was this B-25 given a single vertical tail, instead of the twin tail
that all Mitchells had?
