The 3-pointed pinwheel (called a "triskelion") shoulder patches worn by the B-25 crewmen are those of the Air Force Combat Command, a renaming in June 1941 of the former "General Headquarters Air Force" (an air force, not a headquarters) to administer all combat flying units stationed in the continental United States. On February 23, 1942, while the raiders were still in training, the AAF adopted a new "winged star" patch (the "Hap Arnold patch") to replace the pinwheel patch. The raiders arrived in Florida two weeks before the change was adopted. However the new patch should have been worn by the time the raiders flew to Oakland in the film.
