Trivia
No variation of P-40 carried 20mm cannons in the wings. It mounted .50 calibre M2 Brownings, either nose-mounted synchronised or wing-mounted, at best, and variants had bomb racks (as correctly shown in the movie)

Goofs
McMillan is called Squadron Leader, but the rank badges on his flight suit are for Flying Officer, two grades lower.

Quotes
Gen. Ernst Beimler: When I found you yesterday, you were lost and afraid. Alone you would have died in the desert. But in less than 24 hours, I made you into a fighting unit. Why, you destroyed one enemy scout car and its entire crew, you downed one aeroplane, and are about to finish off another. You have become German soldiers again! Because of me! It was I who, who kept you together, who kept you strong! I! How? By giving you a purpose. That plane! Beyond that hill. That plane is our purpose! And when have finished with that, we will find another purpose, and another, and another, and another! So, now, get to your stations. One day, you will be proud that you served under Ernst Beimler.

interesting equipment in real desert sands

The equipment is worth watching in this movie. The two P-40's are nice to watch, and what other movie shows a P-40 being "bombed up" with a really big 500 pounder. The tank is a chance to see armor work in real sand. It is a late model M-4 but so what, it looks good and is fun to watch in desert terain, which is not all flat as it really was in North Afrika. And wasn't that sargent in Rat Patrol? All the actors give a good show and I liked this movie for its location, equipment and action.
