1 continuity mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Anthony Mann
Starring: James Stewart, Barry Sullivan, June Allyson, Frank Lovejoy
Revealing mistake: When aircraft 5734 taxis to the runway for its first take off and comes to a stop in front of the camera for the takeoff checklist, it's clear that it is just a photo shoot and not a real take off because the jet engines still have their intake covers on. Same thing after it lands and is taxiing back to its parking location where June Allyson is waiting for Jimmy Stewart to return. The jet engine intake covers are still in place.
Lieutenant: We've been bombing cities every day and every night all over the U.S., only people never know it.
