[ARC5] C-47 radio "Island in the Sky"

[Jack Antonio]

So I went and found my copy of the movie, and stayed
up too late last night watching it.

The most glaring error I saw, from a technical standpoint,
was that next to the BC-348 was sitting a tuning unit from
a GP transmitter. From a visual standpoint, it probably looked
more "radio-like" than a BC-221.

The BC-375 was there, but you could only see the side panel
with the connectors.  One very good shot of a BC-306 tuning
unit over John Wayne's shoulder.

One scene of trying to DF a broadcast station on 790kc,
only to find they were listening to a station in Pennsylvania, not
Canada.

There was a mention of a broadcast station that was interfering
with DF efforts, I'm going to have to find and read the book to
see if that was mentioned, and what incident prompted Mr Gann to
include that in his book.

Overall, though, a good movie.
