When Halsey arrives on Guadalcanal, he gets out of an R4D aircraft (the Navy version of the C-47 or DC-3) with 17271 painted on its tail. Painting of tail numbers was required for Army Air Force aircraft but was rare in the Navy or the Marines. Nevertheless, Naval Bureau Number 17271 was indeed an R4D-5 (former USAAF 43-48513) but was not transferred to the Navy until 1 Sep 1944, two years after the time frame for this film.
