The events were standard (acceptable); the actual life styles were politically correct to reflect today's times...no one smoked cigarettes in the film (one or two token actors smoked). During WW2 even the President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt smoked cigarettes; Churchill always smoked a cigar! Pappy Boyington, a WW2 USMC Corsair pilot ace, flicked his cigarette out of the plane's cockpit, then reclosed his canopy...an indication that he was going in for the attack, during dog-fights. His squadron mates watched Pappy's moves, they knew when the attack would commence, by waiting for him to toss out his cigarette.
This is what I have searched about that question: Two male lead roles played by Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett in the attack scene are similar to the real historical deeds of two U.S. Army Air Corps 2nd Lieutenants G. Welch and K.M. taylor, who took to the skies during the attack and shot down some Japanese fighters. But the movie didn't mention about the real people's existence and no historical account of Welch and Taylor.
It is about American service people and how their lives were changed by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, but this movie is half history and half hogwash. The movie Tora Tora Tora (1970) is a much more accurate telling of the events at Pearl Harbor.
There was a ship titled Titanic and it did sink. Some of the characters on board the 1997 movie version are based on real people, however Rose and Jack's story is made up.
It was very loosely based on the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
