Behind the scenes[]

The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Hunting for Treasure incorrectly states its setting as 1916,[16] when in reality it should be 1918 to reflect Young Indiana Jones and the Treasure of the Peacock's Eye.[12]

The real Ernest Hemingway arrived in Italy as an ambulance driver in June 1918 (and injured on July 8, 1918) as correctly shown in the "Northern Italy, June 1918". However the episode was edited to become the first part of Tales of Innocence, dated 1917.[17]
