The closing epilogue of this TV mini-series states: "Bennett's team became the heart of the R.A.F. Ferry Command. With their American allies they delivered over 25,000 aircraft from Newfoundland, changing the course of the war. More than 500 men and women died flying for Ferry Command. Captain Don Bennett went onto found and lead the Pathfinders, an elite group of pilots who led Allied bombers to their targets in Nazi Germany."

The Newfoundland airport gets a visit from an American general wearing the insignia of General of The Army (5 stars). After Pershing retired in the 20s, no one held that rank until December 1944.

The DC-3 shown in the first episode was equipped with modern turboprops, and of course sounded nothing like a DC-3.

The registration number on every Hudson aircraft seen is the same. The reason for this is that there was only one Hudson available to the film makers - it is actually an exhibit in the collection of the North American Aviation Museum in Gander.
