The Browning M2 Aircraft heavy machine gun appears in the film as the primary armament of the B-25 Mitchell bombers commanded by Col. James Doolittle (Aaron Eckhart).
Browning AN/M2 machine guns are mounted as defensive guns on American carrier planes. The TBD Devestator torpedo planes have a single rear gun, while SBD Dauntless dive-bombers have twins.
During the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese D3A "Val" dive bombers and B5N "Kate" torpedo bombers can be seen with Type 92 light machine guns, a Japanese copy of the Lewis Gun, for the tail gunners.
US Navy ships at Pearl Harbor are also armed with Oerlikon 20mm Cannons. These are anachronistic for the period, not being adopted by the Navy until mid-1942. At the time of the Pearl Harbor attack the Navy's primary light antiaircraft gun would have been the water-cooled version of the Browning M2 heavy machine gun.
