I remember talking with the Naval History and Heritage Command historian who was assigned to be the adviser on the “Pearl Harbor” movie. He said the movie folks consistently ignored his council on what they were doing wrong while making the movie. He was very disappointed/ashamed to have had his name on the movie as the “Navy’s historical adviser” for it. I was a historian at the Army Center of Military History at the time of our talk.
That’s really interesting. I didn’t see Pearl Harbor.
