Throughout the film, no depiction is made at any point of the Grumman F4F Wildcat, either in flight or on a carrier deck. The Wildcat was the standard Navy fighter of the early war and played a crucial role in every engagement shown in the film, including the battle of Midway. A viewer without knowledge of WW2 aircraft might assume the carriers only carried bombers and that they were always on their own. - However, the point of the film was to concentrate on the efforts of the dive bombers and torpedo bombers. Adding in Wildcats taking off, landing, flying, etc would have messed with pacing and a waste of screen time.
