Another nice detail was the Zippo lighters. ISTR all of them were black in the show, which fits in with the fact that the Zippos issued to the troops were apparently made with inferior metal in the covers which leaked, so they were coated with some type of black enamel. There are many instances of attention to detail in this show which I found quite impressive.
Although Band of Brothers showed great attention to detail, in the scene where the C-47's depart for the invasion there is a shot of a pilot in the cockpit with a pair of contemporary David Clark headsets. They have a characteristic light green color (I have four pair) and are obvious in the shot.
