* An edited version of this film was used in  This is Your Life, Donald Duck (1960). The special showed no gap between Sky Trooper and Donald Gets Drafted. The implication is that Sky Trooper takes place very shortly after Donald Gets Drafted. Since Donald Gets Drafted likely takes place in 1941, this means that Sky Trooper may take place in 1941 as well.
* A possible reference to the General from The Vanishing Private is made at the end when Pete and Donald crash into a certain General's headquarters.
