If you count flying restored and replica Japanese Zeros off the stern of an American aircraft carrier “accurate”.
One of the major reasons Akira Kurosawa left the film.
I lean more towards ‘We Were Soldiers’, ‘Battle of Britain’, ‘Hamburger Hill’ and ‘Dam Busters’ as the best and most detailed war films.
They weren’t Japanese zeros. they were North American AT-6’s painted to look like zeros. I think there are 2 actual zeroes still flightworthy in the world, which makes them worth their weight in gold.

Best war film I’ve seen is the Russian movie “Brest Fortress.”
