• Movie Goof (factual errors): The squadron in the movie that Stachel and von Klugermann belonged to and that Heidemann commanded was referred to as "Jasta 11". Later in the movie, after Stachel saves Manfred von Richthofen's life, Richthofen invites him to transfer to his Flying Circus. In real life, Jasta 11 WAS Richthofen's Flying Circus!
• The Irish Air Corps also lent their facilities at Casement Aerodrome (Baldonnel) to filming, however after filming, many of the aircraft replicas remained in storage between Casement and Powerscourt House, County Wicklow until the 1980's and were to be seen flying occasionally in the area.
• Movie Goof (factual errors): The German Army is shown advancing in linear human waves against the British lines in the Ludendorff Offensive of 1918. In fact were really using new storm/infiltration tactics of small well trained and armed troopers. This is where the term "storm trooper" comes from.
• Movie Goof (errors in geography): When Stachel is brought to Berlin, establishing shots of his entrance into the city are instead unmistakably set in Dublin, Ireland. This includes clear unobstructed views of Christchurch Cathedral, The Four Courts, and the courtyard of Trinity College Dublin (with the campanile, The GMB, the Dining hall, with the cars occupants finally disembarking in front of and entering the chapel.)
