National Treasure (2004) and National Treasure: Book of Secrets: Mentioned as "known for" in IMDb, but doesn't explicitly state he directed them (IMDb says "known for War (2007), National Treasure (2004) and National Treasure: Book of Secrets"). Wait, let me re-read Source [2]. Source [2] says: "Philip G. Atwell is known for War (2007), National Treasure (2004) and National Treasure: Book of Secrets". It does not explicitly say he directed National Treasure. However, Source [4] says War (2007) was his directorial debut. This is a contradiction if he directed National Treasure. I must stick to what is explicitly stated.
Source [4] says War (2007) was his directorial debut.
Source [2] says he is known for War, National Treasure, and National Treasure: Book of Secrets.
