It's incorrect for the period of this film as it did not fly until after WWII. The B-29 has incorrect paint...no stateside B-29s would have had the black undersides in mid-1944. It was introduced for night missions over Japan...and re-introduced for the Korean war. Also, the C-46 probably wouldn't have had a red tail in WWII. That was a postwar scheme to help find planes lost in the arctic. Also, the phane in the photo with the Jeep is a Canadian-built UC-64 Norseman. It's the type of plane Glenn Miller was lost in during December. 1944.
