  • Genius Bonus:
    • Mack, Yo-Yo and May are visibly quite reluctant to use the R-word when persuading Deke to go talk to Sharpe because he won't open up to anyone who's not white. This may have been unintentional, but the word "racism" did not yet exist in the mid-1950s.
    • The conversation May and Yo-Yo have about women pilots is a reference to the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP). As explained by May, these were female civilian volunteers that participated in training exercises like testing aircrafts and towing targets for ammunition practice during WWII. Despite many losing their lives, the women were not recognized to have any military standing at the time. It wouldn't be until the 1970s that they received veterans status and later, in 2009, awarded the Congressional Gold Medal under the Obama administration.
