At the beginning of the film there are a number of clips of all types of artillery fire. One of the clips is from the disappearing 12" batteries that were on the coast of California. These guns only fired a few rounds. Each time they went off they shattered windows and frightened all manner of animals. The concussion from the muzzle blast was horrendous. They were scrapped well before the war ended. These types of guns were usually used on large ships where the men were protected from the blast by the turret the guns were mounted in. But even when used on large ships, no one can be on the deck when they go off, the concussion would destroy any crewman's internal organs.
Opening scene shows combined naval and air forces attacking Hawaii in war games followed by scene at Schoefield - all in 1934,seven years before Pearl Harbor.
When Dick Powell is washing his face, he's singing "By a Waterfall", which he also sang in Footlight Parade (1933).
