The Short Day of Private Putnam - S2-E28
Character mistake: Hanley's call sign is Checkmate King Two. But his radio man recites, "Checkmate King Two, this is White Rook." Should have been the other way round.
Combat! (1962)
1 character mistake in The Short Day of Private Putnam - chronological order
Starring: Vic Morrow, Jack Hogan, Pierre Jalbert, Rick Jason
Revealing mistake: Season 3, Episode 68, "The Duel": The prop wash from the helicopter filming the overhead scenes are evident as everything (dust, twigs, leaves, etc.) is being blown around.
Braddock: Don't just stand there sucking on a prune pit, get these men some water.
Trivia: Actor Vic Morrow used a non-firing wooden replica of a Tompson submachine gun due to its lighter weight, thus being easier to carry. He used a heavier blank-firing model when it was required to be fired.
