The air raid on Tokyo depicted at the beginning of the film is apparently the Doolittle Raid of 18 April 1942, in which sixteen B-25 Mitchells were launched from the USS Hornet to attack targets in Tokyo and Yokohama in retaliation for the attack on Pearl Harbor four months earlier. The raid did little damage but served as an important propaganda tool for the US.
