• In the mobile phone version of Airborne, it was explained that Travers had brothers from the 101st Airborne Division.

• Boyd crosses paths with Jimmy Patterson the same number of times as Frank Keegan in the franchise. First during the participation in D-Day in France and later in the battle of Arnhem.
