During the early days of the Battle of Britain, the British attempted to use flamethrowers as a weapon against enemy aircraft. It was found to be totally ineffective. Planes flew at a high enough speed that they flew through the flames without suffering any damage whatsoever.
Therefore, the dragons in the film should not have been able to destroy any of the P-51 aircraft.

During WW2 the Germans did not use the iron cross as national insignia on their aircraft as depicted on the wings of the dragons in this film, they used the Balkenkreuz.
When commandos engage enemy troops at extremely close range with a knife they do by reaching around and stabbing them in the kidneys not by stabbing them in the gut as depicted.
Contrary to the "based on historic events" claim at the end of the film, dragons can only be slayed by arcane war mage spell casters with +18 charisma, +14 constitution, +12 dexterity and +16 strength. Sanity, wisdom and intelligence points do not weigh heavily into the dragon slaying equation, as was correctly portrayed in this motion picture. War mages must use a chromatic orb spell with an enchanted sword hit. They must rest prior to spell casting and then must complete the trigger sequence before the dragon casts an enchantment spell or a saving throw. An armor class north of 6 certainly helps as well. In this movie, they just used airplanes with an armor class of 2.
The P-51D Mustang aircraft in the film should have been able to outrun the organic dragons.
The P-51D Mustangs pictured in this film did not become operational until March of 1944. They were not used in the North African campaign in 1942-3.
A more correct choice would be the P-40 Warhawk, appropriate to the North African campaign; the only Mustang variant operational at this time would be the A-36 dive bomber, and would not have been employed in a fighter role.

Lt. Robbins talks about being on a raid of a V-2 rocket site. However when the US was fighting in North Africa in 1942 and V2s were not in operation until 1944.
The Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress as seen on movie were not used in the North Africa campaign. It was introduced in 1943. Appropriately, the bomber should have been an older E or F-model B-17.
Conex containers introduced in the 1950s are clearly visible although the movie is set in the North African campaign of 1942-43.
