Lockheed Model 212

Perhaps the prototype (reg. NX18955 then C-FBQX) c/n 212-13 which has been sold after RCAF service to an US owner and then registered NC60755) ?

We guess the former place of the gun turret.

Junkers Ju 87 A-2 Stuka

TK+HE, a Junkers Ju-87A-2 Stuka is shadowed by a dark camouflaged Junkers Ju 87 B.
Same aircraft in other movies at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft.

North American B-25 Mitchell

Probably the same archive footage which will be used again in The Young Lions.

North American P-51B/C Mustang

The famous straffing in which Rommel was hurt.
The attack occured in Normandy by a deep blue sky weather and was done by two Spitfires ... but first we see a torpedo bomber (!) with a cloudy background.
