There are several aircraft types referred to in the film:R4D, PBY, F4F, PBJ. Those are all naval designations, although two of them have Army (and/or Air Corps) equivalents, namely and R4D is also a C-47, and a PBJ is also a B-25. When Torrey is at the observer's post talking to Mrs. McConnell, he identifies an aircraft as an AT-6, which is the Air Corps designation for a trainer (the principal trainer in WWII) known in the Navy as an SNJ. However, the Army had more air bases on Oahu than the Navy at the time, and Torrey would have known the difference between the Army's AT-6 and a Navy SNJ. If the plane belonged to the Army, he would have correctly identified it as an AT-6.
