The Harvards also portrayed Fw.190s, although I'm not sure they were seen as such in the finished film. You can see the "P-47" versions clearly in the background of an airfield scene.

The "Typhoon" and "Fw.190" versions pop up again in the film Soldier of Orange, although the German-painted aircraft are seen during the invasion sequences near the start of the film! The "Typhoon" version is clearly seen at the end, as Rutger Hauer's character welcomes Queen Wilhelmina of Holland.

One of the Harvards would later crop up in the 2006 film Black Book, playing a Focke-Wulf 190 again!!


The Harvard in "black Book" was actually a Texan and privately owned and has not a direct connection with the "Soldier of Orange Harvards".
