And certain theatrical elements are always going to take precedence over reality.Filming was done at Naval Base Coronado, Naval Air Station (NAS) Fallon, NAS Lemoore, Naval Air Facility (NAF) El Centro, Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake, and Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island.

It consists of a three-button coat with silver-colored buttons and a “Hap Arnold wings” pattern, matching pants, and a service cap or flying cap, all in Shade 1620, also known as Air Force Blue or service dress uniform.

What’s notable about this particular oversight is the amount of input and assistance the Navy has given this film.
