I have found these "mocumentorys" make a lot of mistakes, but; I often watch them for the visuals . Keep in mind some ignorant liberal arts majors wrote the scripts, produced, and directed them.
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.
I don't see the movie link, either... but I'm getting used to not seeing pictures and such that people include in their posts. Company filter is my guess.

If only there were some kind of software or maybe web based service that would allow one to search such things as a movie title and find out all about them.
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.
