I'm going to see it. But as a rental. I watch movies for the entertainment and not
just for historical accuracy. That being said, my wife hates it when I pause a movie
to zoom in n a medal bar to see if the ribbons match the time frame.

I do agree with most about Pearl Harbor. I turned it of after the first 30 minutes.

Tex, forgot all about him--I was lucky enough to meet him back at the EAA/Oshkosh show in '78--nice guy, took the time to speak to a young kid, and gave me an autographed photo for free (if I recall right, he was selling photos, but I had already run out of money by the time I got to his table!)

Possibly the luckiest person in the USN; the single survivor for the entire flying cadre of a USN torpedo squadron.
All flying personnel lost in a single day.
I used to have an award document of the Bronze Star award to an enlisted man for his services on the Nautilus during Midway. Like a dope I let it get away from me. Would really be interesting to know what action earned him the award.

A big old submarine. Only 2 were made. Quite an extensive WW2 service record.

It's part of our DNA! We can't help it.
