The carrier-based torpedo bomber depicted in the film is the TBD Devastator, which was the front line torpedo bomber used by the Navy prior to the Battle of Midway. So dismal was its performance in that battle that it was withdrawn shortly afterwards and replaced with the TBF Avenger. The poor performance of the Devastator is referenced several times in the film, most notably by Japanese admiral Yamaguchi (Tadanobu Asano).
