(OP)
I just watched this on cable. If you are interested in movies on engineering, I strongly recommend this.

The Wind Rises is an animated cartoon about Jiro Horikoshi, the designer of Mitsubishi fighter planes during WWII. I don't know how well they understood the engineering, and I don't know how carefully they researched Jiro Horikoshi. The story is fictionalized quite a bit, according to Wikipedia.
There is an interesting discussion about what happens to our stuff after we design it.

RE: The Wind Rises
There is lots of stuff on the internet about this movie. You can search on Jiro Horikoshi, Mitsubisihi A5M, and Mitsubishi A6M will do it. The only thing that is hard to find is the movie itself. It got positive reviews, but it disappeared from the theatres here in Toronto in about a week. I watched it on a pay per view channel.

Now that was hard... But why are a thousand people googling this? When I refer to something, I include a link. Just saying...

I got to explain to my son what a slide rule is.
I wonder if the bit about the fish bones was accurate?
