They are the aircraft used to film the movie.

I saw the movie when it came out. Thought the color scheme looked familiar. I was aboard the HE-111 they used in that movie, the [then] Confederate Air Force flew her and a B-24 to Metcalf Field in Toledo for display. It was a passenger model with the windows, painted in period camo, I think one got a glimpse of it in the movie, but I could be mistaken. Still cool. One can almost stand up in a B-24, but you sure can’t in a B-17. Amazing how cramprd they are inside...
