** Wood and canvas would have been more typical material than metal for planes built in 1920s and 30s. Stressed metal skin was a new technology until at least mid-1930s and many World War 2 era planes continued to be built at least partly of wood and canvas because they could be manufactured with less skilled labor and without expensive and costly industrial equipment: British Hawker Hurricane, Soviet Lavochkin and Yakovlev fighters until 1944, and even early variants of American Vought Corsair were made partly (or even largely) of wood and/or canvas.

This hinges on the film being his Swan Song, which is not the case anymore. The Boy And The Heron is now meant to be his swan song

** Is it a touching, tragic, heartfelt swan song for the master animator or a lazily written, albeit beautifully drawn and directed, retirement notice of a man who couldn't be bothered to give one last fantasy adventure that he's become so well admired for?
** The biopic part of the film: Is it a romanticized version of a designer's life or is it more saccharine and fictionalized than ''Film/PatchAdams''? Should the consequences of the planes that were built have been acknowledged more? Should Jiro have been shown regretting what he's created? This will most likely be debated long after Miyazaki is gone.
