The aircraft that finally located "Bismarck" after she escaped detection by HMS "Suffolk" and HMS "Norfolk" is correctly shown as a Catalina, but the fact that it was piloted by an American Naval Reserve officer, Ensign Leonard Smith, could not be revealed until long after the war, since the United States was neutral at the time of the engagement. The attacks by Fleet Air Arm Swordfish show some aircraft being shot down: no Swordfish was lost to "Bismarck"s guns and all were recovered. However, from HMS "Victorious"s air raid, two Fairey Fulmar escort fighters ran out of fuel and ditched. Three fliers were picked up from a rubber boat.
