I was watching the old movie about the Pearl Harbor attack, "TORA! TORA! TORA!" and early on I swore I saw a brief shot of a Ford Moto-Tug but thought, naw, they weren't even on the drawing board yet. Then, today, with about 15 minutes left in the picture when all hell is coming down, there's a shot which clearly showed two Moto-Tugs hauling B-17's away and, ironically in the background, is the hangar with FORD ISLAND on it. The enemy planes drop bombs on them too and they get destroyed with the building, but, the producers had the timeline all wrong when they filmed that. December 7, 1941 was the tragic day for the US at Pearl but the first Ford Tug did not roll off the line unitl April 1943. Ooops...
