The movie, Midway just started on AMC. Anytime a good WWII movie comes on, Mrs njretcop props me up in my recliner in front of the TV set. Then she goes to the safe and gets out out my "mint" 1943 Springfield Garand, just in case, you never know how these movies are gonna end, LOL.

"Launch the TBF's" and we see a deckload of F6F's.
Close ups of machine guns that don't belong on the aircraft that are supposedly firing them.
Many other minor "artistic license" faux pas but all-in-all a good movie. I particularly liked how they identified the participants.
How did Fonda spoil it?
Charlie...I've got a fully restored 1943 Winchester Garand.

Second, all the time I'm watching him I can't help thinking of his bad seed.
The battle scenes are amusing when you note that they made little effort to match the historical clips to the type of plane that should be involved. For example when they say a torpedo plane or dive bomber is being shot down & they show a single seat fighter.
