- Retroactive Recognition: Tate Donovan, Billy Zane, Sean Astin, Reed Diamond, Jane Horrocks, Mac McDonald, Ben Browder...
- So Okay, It's Average: One of the primary complaints about the film is that while it's competently made, it doesn't really hit any notable dramatic heights, and could have easily been mistaken for a typical drama filmed during the actual war, nearly to the point of being a Cliché Storm.
- Special Effects Failure:
- In some scenes, especially the takeoff sequence, two different sets of nose art on several planes are visible on camera at the same time.
- When Mother and Country is hit by a Me-109, it's clearly a model. It also wouldn't be cleanly bisected like it was cut with a knife.
- The Woobie: Stan and the rest of the rookie crew of Mother and Country have a very affecting First Day from Hell.
