I'll admit these are minor things, but:

(1) Where did the cutlasses come from? I liked the Marines boarding the zeppelin with them, but I have no idea where they got them. Perhaps in the American airship they were "decorations" in the meeting room and we see them early on (and get used to them)

(2) When Jack and Sar escaped from the zeppelin, it looked liked they jumped down on the top of the American airship, so it was a bit confusing as to how they got into the biplane (which is where I thought they were going anyway)

(3) Not sure there is any need to show a drawing of an Atleantean airship unless they actually find an Atlantean airship.

(4) I'm not sure if I can buy Jack shooting down a German plane when he has no military experience at all. Perhaps he flew as a mercenary in China (yes there were mercenary pilots in China well before the Flying Tigers) but was never in the US military.

If we're nitpicking, then I believe "just" is spelled with a J. ;-)

(1) Those weren't cutlasses. They were machetes. The Marines were using them earlier in the story when they were going through the jungle.

(2) Johnson and Baker were the two characters that jumped down onto the American airship. If you look a little closer, you'll see that "Sara" has a moustache.

(3) The drawing of the Atlantean airship shows that the people who left the temple had fairly advanced technology several thousands of years ago. That was the big reveal. The writings on the wall talked about ships. But ships existed thousands of years in the past, so it was no big deal. But then, at the end of that sequence, you see that they "ships" written about in the stone carvings were in fact AIRships. That's a major plot reveal. That's why it's necessary.

(4) Jack could fly circles around those Nazi biplanes. Why is it so hard to believe that he couldn't also press a button at the same time? Also, Jack only shoots down one Nazi biplane. The rest of the time he just used his superior flying skills to either get them to crash or to put them in a position where the gunners on the Drake could shoot them down. I think that was handled perfectly fine.

Anything else?

In 1940, the capitol of the Congo was called Leopoldville, not Kinshasa.

I just finished watching/listening to The Sky Pirates. The images are perfect for me not to miss what's happening if I'm not actually sitting still watching the production. This is my first Amazon Studios event and I WANT MORE! Love it, Love it. You'll hear no nitpicking from me. Great stuff. I especially love adventures like this one. pd
